In love with...Carrara

We have been incredibly excited by how terrific everything looks on our new Carrara Marble.  To spread the Carrara love, we have created some new display boards that you could soon see at your local tile store.  We picked some favorite Pattern, Accent & Listello designs that we have previously shown on other stone types, like Durango or Travertine.  We made them on Carrara instead and everything looks just beautiful.

New Pattern Tiles, Accents & Listellos added to our Quick Ship Program

This year we have added even more to our Quick Ship Program.

Most everything we do is made-to-order, so that you can have it the way you want it.  Any of our designs can be made in any size and on any stone type that you want.  It typically takes us two weeks to get your order ready to ship.

But we do have some of our most popular tile designs in stock and available to ship out right away.  We call these our Quick Ship items.  If you want one of these tile designs, exactly as it is shown on our Quick Ship Tile flyer, it can ship out immediately (Monday through Friday.)  You will still buy these Quick Ship items through your local StoneImpressions dealer, who you can find by going here: StoneImpressions Tile Stores.

Here's what we have added this year to our Quick Ship Program:

Amaretti Earth Pattern, Listellos, Corners & Deco Strips

Marseille Olivine Pattern, Listellos & Corners

Marseille Truffle Pattern, Listellos & Corners

 Altalena Ochre Pattern Tiles

Cortina Oro Leaf & Vine Pattern Tiles

 Baku Listellos & Corners

Crossings Listellos & Corners

You can see all the items available with details about sizes and stone types by downloading the Quick Ship Flyer.

Kitchen Backsplash Design Ideas

It happens all the time.  You fall in love with a particular tile design, but then you just can't figure out what to do with it.  We feel your pain.  It is not always easy to design a layout that will look good AND fit into the space you have.  This year we will try to post on our blog more layouts and design ideas using our tiles.  You'll be able to find them all under our Backsplash Layouts tag.

To start us off, here are a few ways that you could create a kitchen backsplash using tiles from our Metal Amore Collection.  You can find the whole collection here: Metal Amore Tile Collection.  Click on any of these pictures to see a larger view.

All of these layouts also use our Rope Liner which you can see on our page of natural stone liners and trim.

And here is the same Holland Pattern in the Green color (PHO311301-G):

End of year "Sample Sale"

End of year sale going on for the In-Stock items found here:   In Stock Decorative Tiles You can contact you local StoneImpressions Dealer to purchase one.  What are these? We’ll admit it - we sometimes make mistakes and print a perfectly good mural or accent on the wrong stone or in the wrong size. Over time, we have built up a small stock of these murals, accents and listellos. These products are not defective in any way – our production team just made the wrong item.  This stock also includes tiles that were made to photograph for out catalogs. All of these decorative tiles are sitting on our shelves just waiting for a home.  They ship out right away instead of our normal two week lead time.  It is a great option if you have a last minute need for some decorative tiles.

Could this be the beginning of a beautiful tile?

A collage of some of the new concepts that our designers are noodling around with.  This always starts with many, many choices.  And you never quite know where it will end up.  Some designs that we absolutely LOVE could eventually fall out of the running.  And sometimes the opposite happens. A timid, unassuming design idea that nobody gives much attention, can leave us breathless once it is dressed up and displayed on stone.  It can be a wild ride, but oh so much fun!
