'We will be introducing three new "Arts and Crafts Inspired" listellos to the stores next week. The Arts and Crafts Movement was from 1860-1900. It was a conscious revolt against man-made mass produced products that were being used to imitate handmade products- but exhibited poor quality. The movement was headed by William Morris (1834-1996) and displays both geometric and natural forms.

Now that we have so many stone and ceramic tiles in rectangular sizes- chevron patterns will be easy to design. Here are some examples: Stone floors: A cool slate bathroom wall: A great chevron patterned rug in yellow and white: This wood floor is striking- you could use our ceramic wood flooring to create a similar look: I saw this painted chevron wall pattern on las

'For home owners that appreciate the ability to decorate their home based on using products in multiple ways such as installation application and design flexibility, carpet tiles are a good choice. Carpet tile buyers use their own imagination to create various patterns and colors. Some patterns lend themselves to even more creativity by their ability to be quarter turned (most tiles have directional arrows on the back) creating greater depth through this planned shade variation.

'Is your home ready for the So Cal Wildfire Season? It may seem a bit early to think about it. After all, the normal wildfire season doesn’t even begin until October, with the arrival of the ever so popular (insert sarcasm here) Santa Ana winds, but we have to remember that it came early last year. And, so far, this year seems to be shaping up to be about the same with the high temperatures, lack of rain and already a few wildfires in the area.

'There are three primary backing systems on carpet tiles or squares such as cushion, vinyl, and thermoplastic. All three can be used in a residential or commercial setting.
