People often ask us how we start a project and where the inspiration for a design comes from. When designing kitchens and baths, the inspiration often comes from a tile that we have fallen in love with. Today we are going to talk all things tile with our guest Ryan Fasan, who is a Technical Consultant and Ceramic Tile Specialist with Tile of Spain. We are in good hands with Ryan today and excited to talk to him about the latest in tile trends in preparation for the upcoming Coverings Expo held in Atlanta in April, which we will both attend.

FUNNY QUOTE - “Getting older is all about knowing a guy. A tax guy, a car guy, a plumbing guy, a yard guy. I don’t measure wealth in terms of money but how many guys you know.” — Stash_Bham
SERIOUS QUOTE – “No one knows what they’re doing. Nobody. Not even ones with degrees, and big job titles and more things than you. Not even the people on your vision board. Everyone is just trying loudly, failing loudly, and trying again. And so should you.” — Kaya Nova

If you’ve followed us for a while, you know that we can frequently be found traipsing through the dusty aisles of an antique market looking for that special vintage item to mix with a more modern companion. In our opinion, if a design doesn’t have history and a story to tell, it’s not really that worthwhile. In this episode of The Inside Scoop, we share two of our favorite Antique Shows to enticed you to head out to one.
