Small wonder

many homeowners simply accept their temperamental toilets, faulty faucets,

and tired-looking tiles. With the latter, however, there is not only hope

-- but also a solution.

Hopkins, Minn.-based

Environmental Graphics, the market leader in decorative products for home

or office in the United States, has recently launched their revolutionary

Stick'n Stile appliqués, offering homeowners a new cost-effective

way to brighten up their bathrooms.

"While

the number-one goal of 83 percent of Generation Xers is to remodel this

year, cost will certainly be a factor" explains Todd Imholte, president

of Environmental Graphics. "Many of those seeking to redecorate their

bathrooms will focus on ways to enhance what already exists -- as opposed

to remodeling the entire room."

According to

Imholte, ceramic tiles continue to be a popular bathroom design element.

"The average growth rate of tile sales is expected to be in the 6

percent-per-year range through 2004, as more and more people appreciate

their value, aesthetic appearance, durability and ease of maintenance.

With Stick'n Stile, they can retain the ceramic wall tile look that they

currently enjoy, yet incorporate fresh design attributes that will add

new life and personality to the room."

Stick'n Stile

peel-and-stick appliqués are easily applied to tiles, shower doors,

mirrors and plastic or fiberglass tubs, creating a ceramic custom look

within minutes. Appliqués come in several popular sizes and are

available in trend-setting designs (such as Water World) that reflect

the latest colors and themes. Created with today's consumers in mind,

they color-coordinate with towels, bathmats, shower curtains and other

bath accessories readily available at upscale department stores as well

as value stores like Target.

Installation

is a breeze, since the appliqués are simply affixed to the cleaned

surfaces. A damp cloth and mild domestic cleaner is all that's needed

to clean them, and removal is just as easy with the help of a blow dryer.

Stick'n Stile

appliqués are currently available in most Bed Bath and Beyond stores.
