" Where New York City right around the corner from union square and we're visiting concrete floors. A wonderful company that was started about thirty years ago by Norman Carlson and New York City photographer who traveled extensively every year in Europe and discovered the beauty of the ceramic tile industries in the tradition of tile in countries like Italy and Portugal and France and Spain and he started importing them. He started the business out of his basement on 26 street here in New York but today it's grown to be one of the best sources for ceramic tiles in the country bath Kaufman is going to be our design consultant to give us a tour -- we're not only going to look at European -- but also the revived partisanship of American ceramic -- about it. I'd bet I'm Bob parallel what a busy place. Let's in -- that you need to design can. Going into the candy store your eyes can be overwhelming right away and her heading away the first thing I look at is very reminiscent of Malibu pottery that we use when we're out building a house in Malibu California that that this is something very familiar to me is that news."

" Right this isn't manufactured that we have out in California. The tiles can be used for or wall material and third floor material and also light commercial use."

" And so it's been it's it's really replicas of the work that was. Pioneered in Malibu back in the 1920s -- Something like this carpet Hamachi network something like this can -- 6000 dollars --"

" The capabilities and making it bigger and smaller -- any."

" And then over in this corner. This is what I really associate with concrete floors that the pattern European time."

" Ryan a lot of people say this material and I'm manufactured in Holland's it is on hand painted. A lot of the designs iron Dutch life."

" What I like -- value makes this ceramic tiles down trying to create this mental and or Madeline didn't really sense that the tile off right."

" Natural -- is something that's very popular right now it's tumbled marble articles and a lot of different colors and dimensions -- gradual squares marble that are cut."

" The outside and then there tumbled to make them local exactly exactly when right and what about this quarter set up."

" I don't think stone this is another display that we have a our natural stones. This is one very. One color and it shows how we expect different colors together to make it really nice and yet -- and this is the traditional."

" Dutch blue belt right exactly exactly way to look at -- tell us about the actually this went on the lawn here I."

" This material over here is that in the factory equipment -- I'm. They have the capabilities and making all of these relief tiles in different colors and different sides of the relief is actually applied to the tile. There really isn't -- the walls are listening and then they applied the glaze -- that I loved the granite display back here with all the little wild critters in the fish -- the bears and right and again this is another example of how we can combine all of these different materials. We have these great branches right here. That can frame the mirror I had. And what about the staircase likeness. Well that's tile is it's narcotics from Italy and it goes also indoor and outdoor -- it's not slippery when wet. And these tiles right here on the risers yeah I had -- Spain in our stock in a warehouse in Queens. -- reminiscent of awards design and it's also very classical design."

" Yes I love the wind blew combined with the terra -- it's very very nice lot of places and then what about something like this is this antique Roman grew -- well like could be but it's it's nil."

" It's -- say -- that it comes clean and then it's sold by the -- but by the almost like a square -- and I -- this particular one is a square but -- usually sold by the -- but what's the price -- or something like this something or something like this can run anywhere from 25 dollars a Linear foot 275. Dollars -- somebody like this might be disappointed about what exactly think the president now coming home again we can change the colors as they work for your home -- that found."

" That -- Moral thing is really gorgeous."

" This is -- floor -- from France. Constant. Different sizes in this particular one is 4100 dollars. And do they come netted currently eludes now this is -- loose tile and they'll have numbers on the back so that you and they can't. You know you can with a picture together."

" Over here this looks like the workstation. This is where we have our fun and we design all impact. Different bath and these are some of the ones that are going into our project. This went for example I believe this. --"

" As the guest bath them it's a very traditional three by six -- that's high mountain with the Portuguese. Floral design."

" Beautiful. And then over here right next to -- this looks very familiar."

" Right right. This is going to be the border tile in the we'll iron with a matching tile that is going to kill me in this color. And then the walls are going to be this -- in molded terra cotta tile who're just skated. And over here. Kansas the powder and choice this is a powder room with a mosaic tile mechanicals that in. The floor is actually going to be this color mosaic. And and then this is going to be neat moulding around the base of the floor."

" That is in this the tumbled -- are talking about. And tumbled marble again -- but it's going to be a smaller sizes but these are my favorites the cold waltz and the blues and for some reason they really associate this with country Florida moved."

" Yes I mean this again is a Spanish tile out. Use with our Portuguese breaststroke. This is a scroll border also Portuguese. With some Spanish cobalt blue tiles are going to be using on the countertops."
