Tile Trends from Cevisama 2016

I feel like I haven’t written in forever between my trip to KBIS with Modenus and Cevisama with Tile of Spain. I feel like I should be sipping on a glass of champagne or cava as I reminisce over my trips but that might prolong my efforts.

Cevisama is an amazing show. The vendors put exceptional effort into displaying their products. My three days at the show were packed with booth tours and press events and while it made my head spin at times, we hardly made a dent in the show. Continue reading “Tile Trends from Cevisama 2016”

Blanco Quartus Accessories

I’ve been using Blanco Fixtures for about as long as I’ve been a designer. One of the things (among many) I like about their sinks is the ability for homeowners to personalize their sink – to enhance cooking, cleaning, entertaining or organizing in style.

New custom-designed accessories for the QUATRUS R0 and QUATRUS R15 sinks provides numerous options for your stainless sink.

Stainless Steel Grids

Each grid is custom designed for precision fit and have protective rubber feet and side bumpers. A multi-level grid is a unique option for QUARTUS sinks for adding another layer of functionality. They provide a convenient area for drying glasses, utensils and plates or rinsing fruits and vegetables.

Ash Cutting Board

The durable cutting boards are custom designed to fit on your sink and have rubber feet for optional countertop use.

Work Stations

The melamine work stations have two storage wells or buckets with drains. The removable buckets make storing utensil and knives convenient and safely organized. Even better, the removable buckets are dishwasher safe.

Thermador Celebrates 100 Years of Innovation

In 2016, Thermador will celebrate 100 years of creating Real Innovations for Real Cooks. To demonstrate the evolution of kitchen personalization, unveil upcoming trends and showcase new innovations, Thermador will kick off its milestone centennial celebration at Design & Construction Week January 19-22, 2016.

The brand will be located within the International Builders Show (IBS), at booth C3837 in the Central Hall, and will share the booth with sister brands Bosch and Gaggenau.

On Tuesday, January 19 I’ll be attending a luncheon hosted by Thermador for Modenus Blog Tour Las Vegas Bloggers to learn more about their new innovative products. Follow my Tweets and Instagram Posts for up-to-the-minute news.

Thermador will also host a press conference and VIP reception in the BSH booth to unveil exciting news, as well as to officially kick-off the 100th Anniversary celebration of Thermador.

In addition to the inspiring kitchen vignettes found throughout the IBS booth, Thermador innovation will also be featured within the 2016 New American Home, the official show home of IBS.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the innovative 5,200-square-foot 2016 New American Home.

The New American Home, now in its 33rd year, showcases innovative construction technologies, emerging design trends and the latest building products.

How amazing is this island with two Thermador dishwashers, waterfall edge and banquette?
