BlogTour gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about the personal side of a lot of the suppliers I use everyday. Last post I mentioned the NKBA's involvement with Storehouse and World Vision to help rebuild New Orleans (and I have a more detailed post on that coming soon). Silestone is involved...
