Something for everyone at Coverings 2009

From tone-deaf bling-bling to the latest news in sustainability, Coverings 2009 had it all. I generally enjoy what Swarovski has done with their products from tatoos to chandeliers, but sometimes it is simply too much to bear or should I say "bare." Nature's most gorgeous granites do not need the embellishment of crystals - they just make the granite look over-the-top tacky. In the quest to have products noticed, have we lost all sense of propriety and good taste? And what can one say about the fans of Donatella Versace's taste, only that they too could find products at the recent Coverings 2009 in both tile and stone.

But the key to this show is that there is something for everyone - from beautiful artisanal hand-crafted tiles to inexpensive copies of copies.
