Benefiting Children's Chance of Irmo

It's Spring Cleaning time!

Declutter your house and benefit Irmo's Children's Chance, for South Carolina families battling pediatric cancer. Bring your gently used items to either Creative Tile location by Friday, 12 March. Click here for a list of acceptable donations. We will deliver items to Palmetto's Thrift Store on Saturday, 13 March. Fifty percent of Palmetto's Thrift Store's profits go directly to Children's Chance.

From Children's Chance's web site:

Children’s Chance was formed on September 25, 1996 by two mothers who had daughters battling cancer. The organization was started to fill in gaps among the current services provided for pediatric cancer patients and their families. Children’s Chance & our Ambassador Zig the Pig exist to assist children with cancer and their families throughout the state of South Carolina with non medical needs. Children’s Chance raises money to fund a variety of programs to meet the financial, emotional, and psychological needs of the pediatric cancer patient and their families.

Children's Chance is the only statewide non-profit organization that assists families solely with non-medical needs such as paying mortgages and electric bills and providing families with gas, food, and grocery cards!

So, clean out your closets and bring us your items by 5pm on Friday, 12 March.

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!!
