Architectural Ceramics is a unique company for many reasons, one of which is our family! We are a family-owned and operated company. Larry Sullivan, my dad, founded the company in 1983, 30 years ago!
We were filming an About Us video a couple weeks ago and we got the whole family together for the shoot. It got me thinking about how grateful I am to work with my family and how much fun it can be! We always have such a great time when we all get together to work OR just hang out. It made me want to share this 'family' piece of our company with you. Along with everyone's favorite tile of course! I think it's interesting to see the differences in each of our tastes.

Fun Fact: She enjoys staying ahead of the curve in tile style and trends. Listening to Larry get excited about a new tile that he discovered and we had to have. During Katrina when the front desk was fielding the calls from the victims and the warehouse guys were delivering furniture at night. That was real teamwork.
