'For some people, pets are considered part of the family. They are part of the day-to-day activities of the household, are included in the annual Christmas card photo and for some people they have their pets dedicated at their local church. The things we do for our pets! We pet owners all know that pets have their occasional “accidents”, scamper through the house (claws and all), and shed their fur (depending on the breed).

'We have some new listellos for our Imperial Bianco Collection. You should have received your samples- they are in stock at the whse. These are great for the customer who wants a decorative piece to go along with their design- but does not want the contrast of a stone or glass listello. We have more of these in the works.(the Acanthus, Corinthian and Biella Deco)- I think these are a great addition to an already beautiful line!

'We have some new Peruvian listellos coming in a couple weeks (they are scheduled to be in around Dec. 10). There are two (the Chimbote and Huancayo) that are similar to the Peruvian listellos we currently carry, but are made from a different onyx that has more black and brown in it. I really like this new stone!! The Arequipa is made from the old Peruvian onyx- but in new shapes- more like pebbles or stones.

'I really like this kitchen renovation from apartmenttherapy. They turned an outdated space into a current and good looking one! Looks like they simply painted the cabinets, retiled the counters and backsplash, changed the floor, and repainted the walls. Take a look at the white subway tiles.our Imperial Bianco 3 x 6 would look great in a redo like this- especially with one of the new listellos!!
