Tile Summit in Bozeman, MT

SYZYRGY Tile
Woo hoo!! I got to go to a tile summit!  Loads of cool stuff....
Last week I attended a tile and stone "summit" held at the awesome store in Bozeman, MT called Montana Stone and Tile. Price, Emily, Doro, Michelle, and  Ari at Montana Stone and Tile carry exquisite products like the German fixtures by Dorn Bracht and unique handles. 

We had classes on the use of marble in the kitchen, grout and mortar and backer for tiles and stone, the history of the bath "rituals" dating back to ancient Roman days, and took a tour of the fabrication department. They have the most fabulous lines tile (like these pictured) made by Metamorph Bronze and Syzyrgy. They also carried Italian tile that was exquisite! Linen looks as well as "perforated" looks..it had little circles that varied with the size.

Another line of tile I fell in love with was Island Stone Glass.  There are 3 surfaces to choose from: textured, matte and gloss with lots of great colors to choose from.  Look at all of the wonderful stone and glass options they have available.  They also have some great ideas for placement.  www.islandstone.com

Back to the marble issue...alot of people think that marble (and soapstone for that matter) may be too soft for the kitchen...we will talk about this issue next time!
 
Remodel update:  Siding is finished-YES!!! new patio door to back yard along with a side light to keep more view of the garden.  I am looking to paint some more trim around these new doors.
