Bring the color back

Owner and founder Susan Jablon is concerned that color has taken a backseat to neutrals in today’s home-decorating market. She says that it’s hard to find tiles in vibrant colors through the usual sources. People are looking for bright blues to match their swimming pools, and the deep purples they see in the flowers in their gardens. Susan and her designers want to help homeowners find affordable custom beauty to match the world around them.
