Progress Report

We're happy to report that our West Columbia showroom renovation is progressing nicely.

Scott's office has been moved to allow for more room on the showroom floor...

One of the shop bays has been closed in and tiled over with slate to build office space...

And, we've been working on some minor things too like re-sealing our granite countertops, cleaning and repairing our samples, etc. Can you see the difference in the granite below? Some granites, like this Lido Venetian Granite countertop, benefit from enhancing sealers. The lighter portion of the granite on the left hand side of the photo below has not been enhanced, whereas the darker portion has. It really looks a lot better. Stop by to see our work today!!

Schluter Systems Roundtable and Demonstration this Friday!

Nadeau

Our newest tile line, on display at the West Columbia store, comes from Nadeau who specializes in unusual and high-end natural stone mosaics. Even though some of these may be cost prohibitive installed as a full kitchen backsplash, we could easily work one of them in as a framed panel, creating a beautiful centerpiece. Remember, we can fit all budgets and job sizes from a simple laundry room floor to a whole house. These new products from Nadeau, available only at Creative Tile, are on the cutting edge of today's tile industry and are certainly worth a look!

This one looks to me like the scales of a dragon's back...I can see it used in a kitchen similar to Brantley Manor's on Lake Murray; heavy, dark wood, stained glass windows, crests of arms, etc. Reminiscent of the stories of Katherine of Aragon's youth, this design looks like the walls of a Moorish castle. Dainty and beautiful: Crema Marfil and Dark Emperador Daisies... As seen in Camelot... I like this one because of its clean look. "It's Creative Tile! They've gone plaid!" (I'll mail a 10% off coupon to whomever can place that quote, my family notwithstanding. ;) Look at this though! Can you believe they've made a plaid mosaic?! It's beautiful! The plaid mosaic (left) uses a combination of five different marbles and strips of North Dark Green Slate. The mosaic on the right is made using Honey Onyx and Dark Emperador marble. M.C. Escher, eat your heart out! Clean marble polka dots, perfect for a little girl's bath!

Come visit us today to see all of our new products, designs, and ideas! ~Becca
