Collar City Brownstone

JULY 30, 2016

If you read my last post, then you know that I traveled to Tampa, Florida on June 30th. It was a lovely ground floor condo that had a gorgeous view of the grounds of the condo community from the lanai. My brother fell in love with Tampa about 5 years ago, and plans to move there in about two years.

Shells go elegant with Cercan Mosaic (Photo Courtesy: Coverings). Mosaics get refreshed by Sicis (Photo Courtesy: Coverings). There will be a trip report post when I return, of course!

I also loved the beautiful mosaics on display. Nature enhanced in mosaics (Photo Courtesy: Sicis). Teak look tile from Italy (Photo Courtesy: Cerdisa). Sicis is always a leader in this area, and did not disappoint at Coverings! In addition to the classic squares, they showed off a beautiful botanical motif in their Neocolibri series.

Here were the top trends I spotted on the show floor. I also saw a nice selection of colorful leaf mosaics around the show floor. It was a very good expo, with some of my favorite American, Spanish and Italian manufacturers in attendance. I was also delighted to see some good-looking tiles from Latin America.
