If you LOVE innovations and technology  , this was the year to be at KBIS in Orlando , Florida .  This year there were hundreds of brands showing off their latest and greatest more so than any other year I've been.

Wilsonart was one of those brands.  One of the never before seen products they introduced was this innovative product with it's water resistant wet wall panels which provide no grout , easy alternative to tile.  The concept if very cool , you can install over tile over drywall and over studs.

Innovation in Plumbing
LIXIL was another one of our sponsors who represents American Standard - they have been a favorite for years. What I loved about their NEW products is that they are not only innovative they are sustainable.

In the Kitchen:


First on the market to think about water preservation with this unique… American Standard BEALE Measure Fill kitchen faucet that dispenses precise volume of water on demand.  No more filling up your measuring cup and dumping water until you have exactly 2 cups, or 4 cups , etc... THIS faucet does the calculating for you !

This was a fan favorite among the interior designers I was with .... these "free standing (3 sided) tubs"  they have a flat backside !  Do you know how great this is ?  This is perfect for those installations where you want the look of a freestanding tub but you need to put up against the wall for space saving situations or simply the aesthetic of the room .  They come in Traditional , Transitional and Contemporary styles.

Although my trip was paid for by these wonderful sponsors my comments and opinions are my own.  I was invited as an influencer interior designer and feel very proud to offer my opinions and feedback on these products that I've highlighted.  This is only a fraction of all their wonderful products.  Please take a moment to look them up and spec some of these wonderful new innovated products.  You can not go wrong, these companies have been around forever.

  4. What a fabulous post, Joni ! I must say--- as big a fan of Easton as I am- I way way WAY more prefer the Thomas Jayne version. That color on the big room walls is taunting me to repaint my big room. For days now. I've had the magazine opened to those pages since I fetched it out of the mailbox. I can not tell you how in LOVE I am with the sheer linen draped over the medallions.short game
