Nicole Facciuto, star of Food Nework’s “Restaurant Impossible” and A&E’s “Fix this Restaurant”, has used our Ikat cement tile “D” in a new California juice bar named Three Wishes . She sent us this sneak preview:
Of course there is no way we can keep a printed catalog current since our number of patterns grows so fast, but here is a printable brochure for a nice overview of cement tile.
Today we found out that our tile is to be included in an article in London’s Financial Time’s House + Home section. It is printed in 26 countries and has a readership of over 2 million ! Can’t wait to see it.
I read a nice post on the KSL Interiors blog. She gives such valid information on how hiring a designer can really benefit a client.
Today, after dealing with the most difficult contractor I have ever had to work with, I remembered why I am great at my job. There is a real value in a designer far beyond aesthetics. We know how to work with trades: contractors, architects and suppliers to make your environment look better than you could ever envision on your own.
She continues on to list her favorite reasons to hire a designer, including their expertise, the price benefits you can realize through their business connections, and the headaches they can prevent by handling all of the third parties for you.
We know from experience that a designer will remember things like trim pieces. We know that they have software to do a proper layout and determine the correct number of tile to order. We also know that they have done their homework before they call and generally have most decisions made before they inquire about buying our tile. We love designers. I have no doubt that the above list of reasons to hire an interior designer is 100% valid. On major renovation work…for gosh sakes, HIRE A DESIGNER.
We are thrilled with the look of our Ikat pattern cement tiles. Our friend Aaron Pugh of CondoInvestment.com and I laid out some groups of tile to make some photos. We think some dynamic floor effects can be achieved with these bold designs.
