During the annual Bathroom Blogfest, bloggers from around the globe write about the importance of bathrooms in the customer experience. Their posts come from a wide range of perspectives that include sociology, marketing, research, psychology, environmental, customer experience, and user-experience design. The event was initiated in 2006.
Hot off the editor's table with a video that epitomizes the magic that can happen as a result of 'Climbing Out', Chris Woelfel from Artcraft shares the following video interview:
"At the Arizona School for the Arts,
creative expression is embraced by everyone who walks through the doors;
including the bathroom doors! Interior Designer Anne Elizabeth Hamilton of
Orcutt-Winslow explains that public toilet spaces for young people can be full
of bold colors, variations in texture and pattern... and fun!
Artcraft
Granite, Marble and Tile Company, the tile installation contractor for the
projects shown in this video, shares this conversation as part of Bathroom
Blogfest 2011."

Chris Woelfel - @tileexperts – from Artcraft Granite, Marble & Tile Co. shares another interview with us about how Tile Transforms.
Tile can transform any space. Just ask Bob Conover of Phoenix, Arizona. With the help of Interior Designer Annette Denham, and a variety of interesting tiles used in sophisticated ways, Bob has transformed his decades-old home into a contemporary, functional and beautiful respite. Artcraft Granite, Marble and Tile Co. brings us the story.

installation is always in style especially when a beautiful, lasting project is
the goal.
