Episode 187 – Tile Trends With Tile Of Spain And Ryan Fasan

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.

Episode 95: The “Science” Behind Sherwin Williams Products With Rachel Moeller
Episode 95: The “Science” Behind Sherwin Williams Products With Rachel Moeller

As many of you know who listen to our podcast on a regular basis that we are big fans of color and Sherwin Williams paints. We’ve been lucky to have recorded 3 episodes with Sue Wadden, the Director of Color Marketing where she shared the color forecast for 2019, 2020 and 2021. Most people don’t realize how much time, effort and man (and woman) power that goes into creating these forecasts.

What we are going to talk about today is the “science” behind paint, the applications and the many options available. We’ll try to keep it light and not make it sound like a science class!
