The arrangement Rick designed added a bit of fun with the bright colors. We make sure there are no cut edges. Super custom! #tile #backsplash #fireplace
A graphic layout of a tile fireplace and hearth. The shapes of the tiles are squares, diamonds, and rectangles. The colors are turquoise, purple, pink, maroon, a sage chartreuse, and shiny luster tiles too. The arrangement Rick designed added a bit of fun with the bright colors.

Rick made his entire urban industrial accent lamp line around this lightbulb. They have an amazing streamlined fit and last a lifetime. As LEDs, they are energy efficient. #smallbusiness #tariff #artists
A lightbulb is shown in front of a ceramic lamp. The words tariff tax are next to it. A ceramic lamp is shown the words in front of it say tariff tax made our one dollar special fit lightbulbs… Now cost us $14 each. In the background of the picture show shows another ceramic lamp. Another ceramic lamp is shown. It is cool. The text in front of it says we won’t be producing any lamps until the tariffs are lifted. We cannot justify passing this cost onto our customers.

We love our #local #libraries! When searching for inspiration for our next #Botanical #Tile line, I was able to consult #Shakespeare via #melcat. #whistlingfrogtile #travesecity #puremichigan #library #literature special thanks to the author Gerit Quealy, illustrator Sumié Hasegawa-Collins. #flowers
