Description:  Vendor Interviews: George Harrison from Harrison Home Systems and Laura Dahlhauser from Sonoma Tilemaker Starting our series of vendor interviews, Sara "Slew" Lewis from Decorative Materials, joins me for our interviews at the Design Center. Together, we will be interviewing different vendor resources that designers should know about. We will strive to invite vendors that will help with product knowledge as well as business resources that could help build your business. George Harrison from Harrison Home Systems shared with us about home automation, and all the different ways they work with designers to simplify different  of home management. We talked at length about how window treatments can be incorporated into the home automation system. HHS works with Lutron to control lighting through the windows with shades. George started his business in Telluride/Aspen, but has his main operation in Golden, CO, just outside of Denver. HHS has worked with many custom home builders, architects, and designers in the mountains, as well as in Denver. Laura Dahlhauser with Sonoma Tilemakers joined us to talk a little about tile, how Sonoma Tilemakers creates their unique tile, and shared with us their newest collection, the Euphoria Collection. So new, that it is not even listed on their website (otherwise we would have linked it). Laura shared with us how they have a glazing process that is actually done in Boulder, CO. It is a process done on ceramic tile. Laura together with Sonoma Tilemakers works directly with showrooms that work directly with designers.
