School vacations. Gotta love them, right? By the second day, you’ll start hearing the “I’m bored” and “There’s nothing to do”. And if you haven’t taken the time to plan for the reaction, you may be ready to send them back to school in short order.

Ceramic tile is  a welcome feature in today’s homes. It looks great in a variety of places, from kitchen floors and backsplashes, to bathroom floors and more.
