Have you checked out our Minis collection of cement tiles ? The Granada Tile Mini cement tile collection was inspired by the zellige ceramic tile patterns of Morocco, which sprang to life in the 10th century and seem to cover every surface that country. Our Minis cement tile collection recreates these classic and timeless designs with one key and important difference: our interpretation uses concrete instead of the original ceramic.

A kitchen can look finished without a backsplash, and sometimes a clean coat of (washable) paint is what best executes a design. But at the same time, there’s also an opportunity to use the space to anchor the overall design of the room. While countertops, flooring and cabinets are generally places to keep it simple, the backsplash is a good place to inject some personal style, whether that’s with a mosaic feature or a bold color.

Good morning, TGIF!! I found some great photos of the " Industrial Modern " design style on Homeadore.com. This kitchen has some nice elements that are perfect for this style- chalkboard paint, reclaimed wood, an industrial stainless steel farm sink, a contemporary countertop…and of course the modern metallic backsplash! Many of our contemporary porcelain tiles would work so well with this style!

Good afternoon! I wanted to share a great article on our company that was just featured in the TileLetter Magazine. Cabby, Kevin, Lauren and I had a chance to meet up with Michelle Chapman from the magazine when we went to KBIS this year. After our initial meeting- she took a trip to the Albuquerque location to chat with Cindy Haley. Looks like she had a great visit- and was inspired to do her own home!

Pets can bring immeasurable joy into our lives. Unfortunately, their nails and muddy paws can wreak havoc on flooring. The following are the best tile flooring option for pet owners that won’t be damaged by your little buddy.

Creating a functional and storage-friendly bathroom may be just what your home needs.

On Friday, May 1st – 6 highly focused and dedicated judges walked in to my home with the monumental task of selecting the winners of the 4th Annual Life of an Architect Playhouse Design Competition. This is no small task and while it may seem a fairly simple enough process to select awesome playhouses – it’s not. These are surprisingly complicated little buildings and the criteria for evaluation is specific, but yet open for a wide range of interpretation.
