'Tuesday, January 15, 2013. 2012s Top 12 Cement & Ceramic Tiles. Before we get too far into the new year, I want to share our most popular selling tiles of 2012. For the first time in three years, a white tile was not our top seller! In fact, you wont see a white tile until position #8. In 2012, our top selling tile was a Heritage Olive Green cement tile in a 14" x 14" format - the largest format available in cement tile.

'The production of cement tile is documented as far back as the 13th century in France and Portugal with some early installations still in in remarkably good condition. The hay day of cement tile in the US was in the 1920′w and 30′s. The tiles were often used in kitchens and on sun porches, particularly in warm climates. The patterns and colors were bold, the material was durable, decorative and sophisticated.

'Neutrals are colors too!!! __. Are you trying to find the right neutral for your tile project? Bright colors aren’t for everyone, but we believe good design is. .

We have carefully curated these Lush® glass subway tile neutrals just for YOU… And, we especially love the dimensional effect that happens in different lighting conditions.

'Back home, we''ve had—knock wood—a fairly mild winter. Here in Cologne, it''s cold! Snow fell overnight with more to come. It would hardly surprise me if the fantastical reindeer depicted on these tiles came trotting down the frosty streets. The collection is designed by Marcello Chiarenza. bardelli.it.

'A “nice kitchen” is different in every person’s eyes, but all truly great kitchens share a common characteristic—they are space-efficient. If your kitchen isn’t well designed, every task, from cooking to cleaning to socializing, can be frustrating. Space-saving kitchens are the most efficient, hands down! If you always feel like your kitchen is cramped and doesn’t have enough space, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a whole new design.

'The kitchen''s basic functions have stayed much the same since this 1917 exemplar—but its form certainly has gone through some remarkable changes. After a week at the Living Kitchen show, my own perspective on the room''s design has been updated. From boiling water on-demand from a tap rather than a kettle to cabinets that open without the touch of a hand, culinary conveniences continue their ascent.

'I''ve had a great albeit exhausting visit to LivingKitchen; even after three full days, it''s hard to tear myself away from the show. While I sort out my notes, discs, photos, and thumb drives on the long flight back home, here''s a fabulous island for your contemplation and inspiration. Its fractured geometry of white and blues is like an abstracted sky; I think I''ll go for a window seat on the plane, and look for pictures in the clouds. architectureatlarge.com.

'I''m writing this post en route to Köln, site of the LivingKitchen industry show. For me, visiting Germany is an experience that''s both familiar and foreign. A brief residency in the country years ago gave me cultural confidence, yet the language remains more a stranger than a friend. This kitchen has a dual nature which parallels that feeling. Modern but with a high comfort quotient, I''m drawn to its aesthetic ambiguity. stiffandtrevillion.com.
