Fun Install

Here's a great shot of a less typical installation. Those are our red and gold dragonflies swarming on the table.   Thanks for sharing Jill !

Sakura

Sakura, our Asian inspired line for Ann Sacks Tile and Stone has had a great reception.  We are busy with some new designs and 18 new colors to freshen the line in spring including some elegant pine branches to join the mural family.

We're still working.....

So nice to see loads of strike offs going out daily and piles of beautiful tiles!  Our doors are still wide open but our belt is tight, not a great economy for a tile factory!

Installations

Chopper gets a snack

Holly is our strike-off master, she is also the go to girl on all development.  She is recently married, loves to ride the motorcycle, and a true animal lover.......she trains rabbits.....best of all she is dedicated to Kibak Tile's customers and ALWAYS goes that extra mile which is more like a marathon in the custom tile world.

Randy and DJ

Arthur

Melanie and Dian

Thursday October 23 Randy and I attended the crazy great Ann Sacks Portland opening in the Pearl district (quite a bit groovier than the Grant street address) I would have to say it was a smash! Music pumping and cosmo's being downed by all.  The tile were center stage and sparkled.  Thanks to Cecilia Dawn, Emily Bolls, Dee Dee, Melanie Turner, John Hart, Arthur, Michael M, and an army of AS suits the evening was festive and upbeat. Here are some candid shots. Notice in the shot of Arthur in front of the Sakura vignette I got myself in the mirror.
