Look at these cabinets with the back-splash done in glass tiles from Daltile. Bling as elegant as a flawless diamond. It begs a second look. These are white iridescent tiles. See the mercury glass pieces on the counter top? Notice the icy crystals on the chandelier? Bling it on home!

Actually this kitchen does look somewhat like a wedding cake! Not prissy. Not fussy. Not trashy. But rather, it is well thought out, perfectly executed, shimmering BLING.
Tiles have come a long way in the past 5 years, just as the word bling (or phrase Bling Bling) is now formally recognized in the dictionary! It wasn’t there 10 years ago. Originally referring to jewelry only, the word has morphed in definition and direction, which now includes home accessories.
“Hollywood Glam” is part of our everyday vocabulary and everybody wants a little piece of it! Glimmer and shimmer are living among us and they are not going away. They are getting bolder as they mainstream into our decorating schemes. Surprisingly affordable, glass tile and metallic colored ceramics have joined glass block to shimmer in bathrooms and kitchens.
People are drawn to things that sparkle. It’s a part of our nature. It’s pleasing and energizing. Take a trip to Daltile.com and look at the the glorious glass and metallic colors available in ceramic tile.
When it stops snowing – or BECAUSE it is still snowing – stop into our showroom to see and touch these sparklies for yourself! Then BLING it on home! No one really NEEDS a fabulous diamond, but kitchens and bathrooms are pretty much a part of our daily lives. Why not make them as glamorous as possible?!
More next week on natural stone tile. . . .or would you rather see more about home accessories in the category of BLING?
Drop me a Blog to make your wishes known.
Okay, I just couldn’t stop myself with this tile! Here is yet another photo of drop-dead-gorgeous iridescent tile. ENJOY!

Hi Mich!
These gorgeous tiles are actually sold in a “combination pattern” on 12 x 12 sheets. It is Oceanside tile, 1 x 1 inch, Tessera, Veil Blend. If you look at today’s blog, you will see another kitchen with a similar stunning look.

Hi!
You can get these glass tiles from us! If you don’t live here in the Cedar Rapids area, then anyone who sells Daltile would have them, and their showrooms should have color samples for you to look at.
