Compromise

I was in a meeting today where we debated the word compromise.  Is it a negative word?  Should I use it in a Kitchen and Bath presentation? Would it be perceived by the audience in the manner in which it is intended?  I stuck to my guns and decided to leave it in the presentation. [...]

White or Biscuit? That is the question. . .

At least once a week I am asked "Should I use White or Biscuit for my sink, tub and commode?"  More often than not my answer is white.  White is safe.  White is timeless.  White does not draw attention.  White will be available in the years to come if you need to replace one fixture.  White is an [...]

We’re not square…

According to the Urban Dictionary a "Square" is boring.  So just to set the record straight.  We Are Not Square.  If you have been to Tile Sensations, you know that first hand.  If you haven't visited or called yet, you should know that not only are our personalities not square, our design style isn't square [...]

There should be only one star. . .

In a room, there should only be one star. However, when you are rating Tile Sensations we prefer 5 stars, of course. :) When you walk into your kitchen what do you see first? Whatever draws your attention most, that is your star. The Backsplash Tile? The Countertops? The Wallpaper? The Cabinets? The Tile Flooring? [...]
