Whew! We’re back from Atlanta and our heads are spinning with great new ideas. Did we mention that we also came straight back to a big installation?! Be on the lookout for the new project to appear on the blog soon. MDI doesn’t just go to High Point in the fall and spring; MDI also tries to make to Atlanta every year or so.

Residential Tile Design: MDI Finds Inspiration In Chicago
Well, hello, Ann Sacks! It is probably safe to say that the Ann Sacks showroom is one of the most fun of all times. For reference, NeoCon is a couple of floors at the Chicago Merchandise Mart. As a result, we were able to take advantage of all of the commercial and residential design showrooms while in Chicago. The images kind of speak for themselves as spectacular examples of residential tile design.

Charleston Designers Explore Chicago
There is nothing like getting out of town to open your eyes to the world. We sometimes get into our Charleston routine and don’t look up from our desks. That is why MDI loves to road trip! Chicago’s architecture is not the only thing we enjoyed this past week while up at NeoCon. We enjoyed some of the big city’s more eccentric things. Well, they probably aren’t truly eccentric…
Good Morning, Spring!
Well, hello, Spring! The temperatures still have a little ways to go but MDI has a serious case of spring fever. We want to serve up some lemonade and catch a good sunset. We are easily distracted by the colors, freshness and spring cleaning that comes along with this particular turn of the seasons. Take a look around your house and pick one project for the spring. Big or small. It doesn’t matter! You’ll be thrilled to embrace spring with a little sunshine and newness. To get your wheels turning, here are some of our favorite ideas…

From rug to cornice design and wall detail…Margaret on the job
Have you ever wondered how we get to the final result? Â Where did that drapery detail come from? Â How did we decide to put that particular pattern on the wall? Â
