Design Seen: Kitchens & Baths

Robin Lee

September 1, 2006

The kitchen and bath are a dynamic duo, yet often overused and underdressed. Isn’t it time to revamp that vanity and add a gadget or two to your line of culinary accessories? Try a state-of-the-art espresso center, or retro-inspired kitchen sets and hues that brighten any counter. Hop in a whirlpool for two with a hydrotherapy system and ergonomically designed curves built for optimal relaxation.

Now that’s something to soak up. Consider showerheads that make Niagara Falls look like a water fountain, compelling crystal hardware and a handful of unique basins that will have you oohing and aahing instead of the usual gargle and rinse. The following pages may completely change your kitchen and bath experience, and we promise it will be for the better. Go ahead, make your living room jealous.
