Fantasia Showroom was started in 1981 with the dream of providing high quality, handmade products to the Minneapolis, St Paul area and our aspirations are the same today.

Our curated collection of tile and plumbing manufacturers were selected not only based on quality of materials but because of the story behind their products. Call us storytellers or librarians, that is what we love most about our job.

We strive to show you a beautiful range of tile, stone and plumbing fixtures to help you create elegant, layered spaces to love for many years to come…

Kathy Rhode

Showroom Sales

Kathy's passion for natural stone sparked her journey in the tile industry 10 years ago when she started as an intern while completing a certified Kitchen & Bath program. The limitless beauty of tile and natural stones offers endless design possibilities to match anyone's personality.

Her favorite aspect of the design process is when clients embrace their creativity and collaborate to craft a design that truly reflects their unique personality.

“Dress for success in the tile world….make it your own. “

 
 
 

Jeffrey Smith

Showroom Sales

Having been in the industry since graduating from design school, Jeffrey has a long history story of retail sales, merchandising, manufacturing, a fashion moment with Giorgio Armani, and 22 years of being self-employed in CA. He has been creating custom spaces for a long list of interesting clients in the residential and commercial realm.

 His favorite aspect of the design process is the reveal. 

"It’s very gratifying to create a space for someone looking at mere samples and spending varying amounts of money, but ultimately getting a reaction or statement that, ‘this far surpassed our expectations.’”

 
 

Marnie Keith

Purchasing Coordinator

After holding many positions in various dryer fields, Marnie was excited when learning about the opportunity at Fantasia Showroom in the spring of 2023. Application of her accounting skills while working with people whose designing inspires her is a wonderful balance!

“That’s easy – the creativity of our clients and showroom salespeople as they beautify daily living!”
