Affluence Seamless Sink

I don’t know about you, but I really dislike trying to keep the drain area of my sink clean. Having to clean the crevasse around the food disposer is a thing of the past with the new Affluence Seamless Sink.

The Affluence Seamless Sink has removed the seam that traps unsanitary bacteria & debris and created a smooth beautiful sink bottom.

The custom strainer baskets included with the sink also seal the disposer opening for filling the sink with water. Now your drains can appear uniform without the need for the unsightly black plastic plug.

The Affluence Seamless Sink comes in eight styles in 18 gauge 304 Stainless Steel with a light brushed finish.

Your installer should like it too because installation time is reduced by 20 to 60 minutes and the undermount drain design eliminates the need for messy sealant at the drain flange.

The Affluence Seamless Sink was recently awarded the Best of Competition & Gold Award for the Kitchen Category at the 2009 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show.

Bassino from Kaldewei

For 2009 Kaldewi brings luxury and elegance to bathing suitable for any modern bathroom interior.

The new Bassino tub is pure in design with clean-cut interior lines that create generous proportions allowing you to lie back and relax in the water. Being able to stretch out and float in the tub brings relief to persistent and also chronic tension by reducing the strain on spine, muscles and joints. Another positive effect floating has on the body is the improvement in the powers of concentration, creativity and productivity.

The shallow depth of the bath makes it easy to climb in and out.

The level base of the Bassino means it can also be used as a spacious and luxurious shower.

The bath has been designed by the internationally renowned Phoenix Design. The firm embraces a philosophy that is as natural as it is intuitive: form follows emotion.

I don’t know who designed the house in the photograph above but I absolutely love it. It is the perfect bathing oasis.

Bright Things Happening at Trendir

About this time last year LED shower heads were all the talk. This year the new buzz is about converting a larger portion of your bathroom to chromotherapy. I discovered this new application while visiting Trendir.

Antonio Lupi’s Cromobox shower kit incorporates LED lights with fixed decorative shower panels. The Cromobox offers a full range of color to so you can add the color you are missing into your chromotherapy.

Chromotherapy is an ancient form of healing which relies on the use of light waves; light waves have the ability to safely penetrate the body without harm or injury. Different colored light waves are believed to rebalance a body’s energy centers, otherwise understood as chi. Through exposure to specific colored lights, such energy centers, also called chakras are rebalanced, replenished, and the natural and optimum functioning of the body is restored.

An Orange shower in the morning is stimulating. Orange is warm, cheering, non-constricting. Orange has a freeing action upon the body and mind, relieving repressions. Orange shows new possibilities and other options in life. Stimulates creative thinking and enthusiasm, and helps assimilate new ideas.

A Violet shower in the evening is soothing. Violet and purple heal melancholy, hysteria, delusions and bring spiritual insights and renewal. These colors slow down an over-active heart; bring sleep and boost immunity. Soothe mental and emotional stress, decrease sensitivity to pain.

Look for the new Chicago Antonio Lupi Showroom to open in April.
