Bathtubs are out, big showers are in

Image
Shutterstock.com The shower gets more use than the bathtub in many households. That’s why some homeowners are ripping out their tubs completely, creating bigger showers instead. Extra shower space allows for multiple shower heads , a built-in seat and designs without shower doors, said John Petrie, president of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, in an email interview about current kitchen and bath trends. They can be designed without a threshold — which look more contemporary and are easier for people to use as they get older. “People really like the bigger showers . They like that there’s elbow room,” said Susie Johnson, a real-estate agent with Coldwell Banker Gundaker in St. Louis. Meanwhile, comments she hears from prospective buyers about whirlpool tubs when walking through a property are often along the lines of: “That’s a nice tub but I don’t take baths,” she said. ...

Amen Corner - An Escape to Blue Ridge Cabin

What do the Augusta National Golf Club and a North Georgia cabin rental have in common? The name Amen Corner, familiar both to golfers and golf fans as the most beautiful spot on the course, is also the name of a luxurious mountaintop cabin with spectacular views that can be yours for a very special vacation getaway . Built as a spec home for a developer, this tri- level showplace is decked out with designer touches and upscale features including two river rock gas fireplaces , dual sinks in master and main baths, staircases with rock wall and branch spindle railings , and floor-to-cathedral-ceiling windows that frame its family room, where you can fire up the gas fireplace as you watch the 55” flat screen TV, one of five in the cabin. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, outfitted with dual ovens, granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, bread-warmer drawer and every culinary tool you could possibly need. But if you don’t want to cook, no problem—it’s just a ten-m...

Kitchen & Bath Trends 2016

Image
Yesterday I attended the International Builder Show (IBS) and National Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) both taking place simultaneously during Design & Construction Week at the Las Vegas Convention Center , and let me tell you it’s HUGE. There are tens of thousands of people in the industry that attend. All the major brands you can think of are set up booths, it’s a once a year opportunity to see all the new design and home improvement products and also meet with the reps that work for these major brands and I was SO excited to be there. I also attended an influencer presentation on design trends which was insightful (see notes at the bottom). I mingled and photographed what I saw and I was like a kid in a candy store. I’d rather fondle tile and faucets and flooring and cabinets than any other products in the world! I had a press pass and took a ton of pictures so I could share them with you. First here’s a peek at some emerging trends based on products and displays se...

See how this Chestnut Hill Tudor Revival was transformed with a global eye for design

Image
“Every piece of art has a story,” says interior designer Vani Sayeed as she scans the walls of the house in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, where she worked with clients who had recently returned from 10 years overseas. As an artist involved in printmaking and painting, Sayeed could relate to the couple’s emotional connection to their collection, which had largely been amassed during their time living in Hong Kong and London with their two children, who are now teenagers. That understanding helped Sayeed and homeowner Judi Rosensweig relate as designer and client, but also as world travelers and moms. “We had many overlapping connections,” says the designer, who grew up in India and frequently visits there with her own young children. “I could tell where she was coming from. They wanted a global aesthetic that reflected their tastes and travels, and I got that.” The design direction was to create a layered look so that the decor seemed collected over time. Preserving the architectural...
