As November 4th nears, we are on the brink of selecting a new set of leaders for our country. This is not only for the presidency, but for the cabinet members, for the retiring Supreme Court judges, and for a slew of other positions that will change with a new president.

1. When using a large rug that covers most of a room, it's best to use a rug size that allows at least 8 inches of a hardwood or tile floor to be exposed around the rug.

Look at your appliances. Are they Energy Star approved? These appliances will reduce your energy costs and reduce emissions. Energy is a resource we have to use in moderation. Saving as much as we can will help our children. The use of bamboo floors are also a great way to help save the environment. Bamboo is a very renewable source of flooring, and you just may be able to get a tax credit for its use. Come by and we’ll fill you in.

We would like to welcome aboard Bill Lamb as a new sales associate.

Come by and see him and welcome him to the Fort Smith area. We also welcome Karen Mills as our new office administrator. Karen lives in Poteau and adds depth to our team with her background in office procedures.

Use patterns on the floor to define a space. Tiles are great for this. Today’s tiles are available in many sizes and are perfect for creating some “pop” in a space. Larger rooms will require larger patterns to be symmetrical in nature. Small rooms won’t need as much. You may loose the concept by using a large pattern in a small room. Think of looking through a telescope at something close up. You can’t see the “full picture” that close.  

We are the experts when it comes to tile shower installations. We take great steps to ensure your shower lasts a long time. We waterproof our showers through a multi-step process to prevent leaks. Most stores only apply tile directly on the surface and call it good. This is an accident waiting to happen. Water will get into your walls and cause mold and damage. Contact us for a water-tight shower.
