It looks amazing, and I have joked that if he needs another showroom, he can do our bathroom as well.

Any customers he gains are obviously allowed to choose any type of tiling they want, but I don’t think any of them will choose anything other than travertine tiles once they have seen his bathroom. Continue Reading »

It all started last year when we had to choose some tiles for our bathroom floor. We came across some travertine tiles, and they look fantastic.
