Smart Tiles

A revolutionary and unique in the world product that is as easy to install as peel and stick. The do it yourself peel and stick tile concept of Smart Tiles is made of an adhesive substrate topped with a clear gel component called Gel-0 (which gives it its 3-dimensional effect) that makes the product so easy to handle, cut and maintain you will wonder why this was not invented before. They are installed in minutes without any mess or specialized tools over any clean and sleek surface for you to enjoy right there and then. Especially designed
for Kitchen and Bathroom environments (i.e. backsplashes), they are resistant to the heat of stovetops and the humidity of bathrooms.  They are removable by simply heating the surface with a hairdryer and peeling them off.  Choose from our wide selection of Mosaics, solid colors and Motifs.  They're Flexible, durable and trouble free, 3-D gel like tiles easy to install, Peel and stick to any clean and sleek surface, Removable with a hair dryer, and Simply heat surface of the tile, once it softens, peel off

They all were very impressive - with great depth, color and shine....just like real glass tiles.

This Beautiful Mansion, which is a Bed & Breakfast Inn is deeply in debt from unpaid taxes.  And, it has recently been "put on the market" - For Sale.  The Old West End Association owns it and has been delinquent on taxes for a while and owe quite a bit...over $77,000.  We'll be touring this home today, just like hubby and I did about 2 years ago.  Quality and workmanship...enjoy the
opulence of long ago with spectacular woodwork, leaded stained glass, beamed ceilings, gracious and spacious living awaits you in the Reynolds-Secor Mansion with Victorian and Arts and Crafts influence...three floors of unbelievable living space plus a two story carriage house.
