Ceramic tile is perhaps one of the oldest surfacing materials, dating back as early as 18,000 years where it was used on the banks of the Nile River. The application of tile as a decorative expression is believed to originate from the Persians of Babylon who used brilliant colors, glazes and embossing of animal pictures on tile to decorate doors. Over the centuries tiles appear again and again through out history incorporating vibrant colors, ornate geometric patterns and distinct pictorial designs to beautify floors, walls and ceilings.

While today's tiles represent a broader range of materials including stones, porcelain, glass, even leather - its purpose, the desire to beautify, remains well rooted in the past.

Through our partnership with Artistic Tile we are thrilled to bring you the most distinctive and innovative tile and stone products on the market today. From breath taking basket weave mosaics and distinguished leather to awe inspiring onyx and lustrous glass, we'll help you create a room that says as much about you as the clothes you wear.

Talk doesn't cook rice." Chinese Proverb

Maybe so, but basic planning and some simple wants and needs evaluations are keys to successful kitchen design. While the explosion of designer kitchen products available today is exciting, it's easy to find yourself wanting too much and quickly becoming overwhelmed.

Start with the basics. Consider your space. What is the layout you are working with? Are you thinking of expanding? Or are you sticking with the current floor plan? What is your style? Traditional? Contemporary? What elements do you need in your kitchen and what elements do you want? Needs take priority to wants so identifying them will save you time and trouble. Think about your likes and dislikes. Considering both will help you narrow the scope of options.

Above all, enjoy your self. The kitchen is the heart of the home and its inspiration should come from there.
