Good morning! I have a few things for you to mark on your calendar and to celebrate:
1. MARK YOUR CALENDAR: We are having an After Hours event at our West Columbia store on Tuesday, 24 April starting at 5:30pm, in conjunction with the HBA Remodelers’ Council. http://www.columbiabuilders.com/events/calendar.html#bf_calFrame_215 It’s by invitation only, and this is your invitation! This is a great event at which to meet industry professionals, your fellow tile installers, and to network! Mark your calendar, and I’ll be requesting RSVP’s as we get closer to the date. We’ll have food, drinks, the newest tile selections available, and more!
2. CELEBRATE: We wish to give congratulations to our fearless leader and owner/operator of Precision Tile Company, Scott Heron, for receiving the National Tile Contractors Association’s Five Star Recognized Contractor award. Scott’s recognition was unanimously approved by the NTCA board, and he is the first tile contractor in the state of South Carolina to receive this award! Congratulations Scott!!!!!!

An elegant, low-profile linear floor drain, the Kerdi Line drain is available in three grate designs, eight lengths, and is suitable for wheelchair accessible showers. We are not stocking these drains, as of yet, but we can order them. ETA is 4-5 business days from the time of order. I am working on scheduling a demonstration for this item, hopefully in conjunction with the After Hours, but I’ll let you know more when I do!
4. THANK YOU: Thanks to each of you who attended last month’s Remodelers’ Council meeting! I enjoyed meeting some new people and speaking with you about marketing your small business through social media!
More to come on our After Hours event and training for the new Kerdi Line drain! Talk to you soon!

Other hand painted murals on tile
Did you know? Creative Tile offers custom, locally made, hand painted murals on travertine tile! Check out these few recent examples…
Hand painted mural
The Wilhelms wanted a trompe l’oeil mural based on a painting by artist Diane Romanello. The result was a hand painted mural by Creative Tile’s own Becca Bertok, on 6×6″ tumbled Coliseum Travertine. 3×6″ Coliseum rounded out the rest of the installation. Here are some shots of the mural from beginning to end.
The backsplash installation was completed by Paul McColl of Southern Style Tile.
Ferguson Working Shower
The fixtures and glass aren’t yet in, but here’s a sneak peek at Ferguson Showroom’s new working shower:

Newsletter, newsletter, where have you been?
It’s 2012, and we have begun a new newsletter volume. The first newsletter involves how to properly clean tile…there’s more to it than you might think!
The Chinese celebrate the coming of their new Lunar Year by cleaning their homes to clear out any bad spirits and poor luck that may have accumulated. What better way to truly make a fresh start of it?!
We hope you enjoy the first issue of our new newsletter collection. We’ll publish a new issue each month. If you have any subjects or queries you’d like us to cover, send Becca an email (becca @ creativetilesc.com).
