Well Greg & Charlene have an exciting adventure ahead. Participating in the Pork Pie Charity Run 2027 Fundraising for Life Flight Nz.
Come on this journey with us. Go ahead and follow the page to keep up to date

🚗🥧 Meet Team Porcelain & Petrol! 🥧🚗

What do you get when you combine an interior designer, a tiler, a slightly questionable sense of adventure, and a Mini called Tilly?
Apparently... a Pork Pie Charity Run team. 😆

We're Greg and Charlene from Southland, and in 2027 we'll be joining 50 teams of other Kiwis on an epic journey from Paihia to Bluff, all to raise money for the incredible team at Life Flight.

As business owners, parents, and proud Kiwis, we know how important emergency rescue and medical services are. Life Flight is there when families face some of their hardest moments, delivering critical care and transport when every second counts. That's why we've decided to step outside our comfort zone, embrace the chaos, and do our bit to help keep this lifesaving service in the air.

Over the coming months you'll see fundraising events, sponsorship opportunities, plenty of laughs, and no doubt a few questionable decisions as we prepare for the adventure ahead. 😅

Our goal is ambitious, our car is tiny, and our enthusiasm is probably larger than our common sense... but we're determined to make a real difference.

If you'd like to follow along, support our fundraising efforts, or simply watch two Southlanders attempt to survive a cross-country road trip in a miniature car, we'd love to have you on board.

❤️ Every dollar raised helps Life Flight continue their lifesaving work. 🚁 Every donation makes a difference.

Welcome to the journey.

Nothing fuels a small business quite like a glowing review and a happy customer 🖤
We spotted this absolute gem pop up on our Google reviews this week and honestly… it made our day.
If you’ve worked with us, visited the showroom, or had us help bring your project to life, we’d love if you left us a review too. It helps more than you probably realise and keeps our little tile loving crew thriving.

Luxury feel without the luxury price tag!

This one is for you folk who want their home to feel elevated and a little bit bougie without having to have a champagne budget.
We secured a limited amount of this tile from our NZ supplier at heavily discounted pricing that we want to share with our Southland customers.
Be quick to snap this one up, she's a beauty!

Some projects just hit different. When this client said they wanted to feel like they were immersed in the trees while in the shower we ran to these gorgeous Basil Manacor 100x100mm tiles. Now this is a brief we can get behind!
We were very privileged to have our team on this Otatara renovation project with Botting Builders.
More photos to come!

Please be advised our store will be closed this long weekend as we pause to remember, reflect and pay our respects this ANZAC Day.

Heya , it's Charlene here👋
I keep seeing clients in our store who are drawn to green, but want to keep things feeling neutral, so I pulled this together to give you a visual and show you can use colour and keep it a neutral space.

It’s that perfect middle ground, where you get the softness and calm of green without it taking over.. Think muted, mineral tones layered with warm neutrals and a bit of texture to keep it interesting. It’s easy, liveable, and not going to date in five minutes.

Used here are,
• Astonished Ming Green 300x300 mosaic
• Miniature Soda Verde 60x240mm
• Bottega Caliza 596x596mm
• Resene Merino paint palette
• Fresh concrete Caesarstone benchtop sample from GMS
• Gunmetal trim/fittings

Come see us for more examples.

Pick it. Lay it. Love it.
