I don’t know that I’m ever going to get rich on this blogging venture, but that is not to say that it is entirely without perks. One of them is learning about so many astounding products, and the other is occasionally meeting some truly wonderful people. Relative to the latter there is a lady I frankly envy.

It seems fitting to have the second blog of “my return” be on tile, specifically tile like this. It is the Etic tile from Atlas Concorde, and as you can see, it looks very much like wood. But unlike wood, it will not warp, mildew, check, or split. Water will not damage it, and termites pass it by.

Paint the walls any color you like; they’re still wallboard in a tract home. Cover them with one of the glories from Tile of Spain and you’ve transformed them into something magical. Tile of Spain has an outlet in Coral Gables, Florida, which means that their products are available here in the USA.

What I like about this company is their integrity. They say, “Nowadays when most of our surroundings are industrialized and homogenous; we take a different stand. Adhering to Old World traditions Tierra y Fuego tiles are handcrafted by skilled artisans that imprint their unique touch on each tile.”
