Looking for a job that would ultimately lead to my life career, I had two things in mind:  constant growth and travel. That’s why, when I sat down for my interview with Moe and Heidi in January of 2015 and Moe said to me, “If you are in the same place you were six months prior, we are all failing – you should constantly be growing, and leveling up each day” I knew Marmiro Stones was the place for me. I started just answering the phones at our front desk, assisting with sample requests of the then-few sales reps we had, making labels for the warehouse, and watermarking installed photos we had in our library to learn the products and finishes. I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to be within the company, but what was most important was there was opportunity for growth. Then, at only nine months in, I was invited to the national ASLA Conference in Chicago with some of our team and had my first experience at a trade show. It was at that point I knew my goal was to become a sales team member.

Not the green, ribbed plants that grow on trees, but a life mantra: Live Everyday as Free, LEAF. Embodying the same symbolism as those green pieces of Earth – growth, rental, and revival – Arpacilar’s vision was about new beginnings, and a better world.

You can’t have a tiled bathroom without lines of grout. Those monotone, flat lines of sticky paste don’t
have a reputation for being colorful or fun, and are typically installed a dismal gray. It’s time to ditch the
monotone grout for a dash of color.

Whether it is an assembly of polished white subway tiles, or a collage of porous stone, your
backsplash is unique to you.

Get ready, get set – it’s time to pick your floor. When you have so many rooms and areas on one level in
your house you might get overwhelmed with treating each room as an individual. Horizontal Surfaces
may be one of the first things you think about picking for each room, you might get excited and want
every room to have different floors, maybe tile in the kitchen, hardwood in the dining room, porcelain
in the mud room, etc.
