For the artist route, one might take up small-sized tiles that are left behind and use them as coasters or placemats by simply sticking a piece of velvet to the inside of the tile; they are usually stained, chemical, and heat resistant, therefore providing the best base for that hot cup of coffee or a hot bowl of soup.
