New Yorkers will be pleased to know that

the popular GE Monogram appliance brand

has a number of products created specifically

for their needs, including a 30” Fully

Integrated Refrigerator, a 30” Pro Range,

and the Advantium speedcooking oven that

can be installed above a cooktop or below a

countertop for space-limited kitchens. “New

York City kitchens, though just as glamorous

as larger suburban ones, require smaller and

more multi-functional appliances,” says Paula

Cecere, manager of the Monogram Design

Center, where the appliances can be seen.

The 30-inch Fully Integrated

Refrigerator, which seamlessly blends in with

surrounding cabinetry, offers luxury options in

a small footprint. The refrigerator is available

in stainless steel (European or Pro) or custom

panel-ready. The refrigerator has one door,

one freezer drawer and a convertible drawer

that can serve as a refrigerator, freezer, or

wine chiller. The convertible drawer is ideal

for smaller kitchens as one’s storage needs

may change with the season.

Available in Dual Fuel or All-Gas, the

30” Pro range is another popular model

for NYC kitchens, providing performance

features such as fully-extending self-cleaning

oven racks, reversible wok grates, multiple

oven modes – including self-clean, and LED

bullnose lighting. It can be paired with

either a hood or an above-the-cooktop (ATC)

Advantium speedcooking oven. The ATC

Advantium is available–like the built-in

wall ovens – in the Pro or European style,

120V or 240V. It offers not only exceptional

speedcooking capabilities but it can be also

used as a convection, microwave, or warming

oven—four ovens in one.

To see the Advantium, as well as the

convection wall oven and induction cooktop

in action, demonstrations are held three times

a month. The schedule can be seen at www.

monogram.com/mdc.

“People are carefully looking at their

options today,” says Cecere. “GE Monogram

is a great choice for homeowners looking for

luxury appliances in a variety of styles, sizes

and options.”

Most HoMeowNers spend

considerable time choosing everything

for the kitchen, but the paint. The paint

most often considered: the traditional

glossy and durable semi-gloss or gloss

sheen. Sherwin-Williams has changed

all of that with the introduction of the

new Emerald interior and exterior

acrylic latex paints.

“Now your options extend beyond

a glossy finish in a kitchen or bath,”

says Jackie Jordan, director of color

marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “The

ingredients and technology behind

Emerald’s interior paint offers a matte

finish with the necessary durability,

washability and resistance to stain,

mildew and moisture— ideal for

kitchens and baths.”

As a self-priming product available

in a matte, satin or semi-gloss finish,

Emerald has excellent hide, reducing

the number of coats needed, to produce

a smooth final appearance. In addition,

this zero VOC interior coating is tinted

with new ColorCast Ecotoner colorants

which won’t add to the VOC content of

any waterbased coating. The paint’s full

body is maintained even after tinting,

delivering thick, rich coverage.

Jordan advocates the welcoming

look of Emerald’s matte finish,

especially when combined with the

trend of mixed woods for kitchen

cabinetry. “Higher-end kitchens are

trending away from dark cabinetry and

moving towards medium to light tones

finished in beautiful, transparent wash

that lets the wood speak for itself,” she

says. “However, kitchen designers are

also mixing it up a bit by combining

woods—such as a painted lower

cabinet with a stained top cabinet.”

One of the most beautiful colors Jordan

spotted at this year’s Milan Kitchen

& Bath Show: driftwood, a soft and

neutral cabinet color.

Visit the Sherwin-Williams

store located in the Chelsea area of

Manhattan to learn more about Emerald

and to pick up large size Sherwin-

Williams color samples.

your home one Brand: scavolini

From kitchen to the Bath

s c av o l i N i

tHe Most exciting news at the Milan Fair last April was the introduction of

a new Brand dedicated to bath design, Scavolini BLU. This company was born

from the over 50 years’ experience of Scavolini in manufacturing cabinets of

high quality.

Scavolini BLU offers 7 complete collections, from vanities to tubs and

fixtures. Over 200 finishes are available as well as endless designed solutions

for the bath that will fit the smallest to the largest space. Scavolini BLU

incorporates a total look, which comprehends mirrors, light fixtures and

accessories, with the signature of Scavolini. The bathroom is transformed into a

space that will rejuvenate the body and soul, and a new room where one could

express their style.

Starting late this fall 2012, Scavolini Soho Gallery will display a selection

of the collections in dedicated spaces with completed baths set up for your

viewing pleasure.

“Our bathrooms are SPA stylish and functional, which can be tailored for

any need, and the kitchen is the new living room now extending into the TV and

Family Room,” says Daniele Busca, Showroom manager and creative director

of Scavolini SoHo Gallery. Scavolini’s seamless style and functionality now

branches from Kitchen, to living room to bathroom.

Want to experience this new exciting project challenge of design makeover

in your home? Scavolini Soho gallery designers staff will help you to make it

happen. To find out more about Scavolini BLU, please visit bluscavolini.com.

kitcHeNs, existing or newly remodeled, have a universal issue:

sparse and awkwardly placed outlets and lighting resulting

in a clutter of cords and dark spots where there should be

illumination—and virtually no safe place to keep mobile or wireless

devices. Legrand, globally known for its innovations in the design

and functionality of switches, dimmers, and outlets, introduces the

adorne™ collection Under-Cabinet Lighting System, a brand new

solution that gives designers, architects and

homeowners that rare “aha” moment.

The adorne Under-Cabinet Lighting

System takes a cue from the intelligent,

modular power solutions found in contemporary

workspaces. Modular tracks are tucked away

under the kitchen cabinets, and components—

from outlets to lights to cradles—can be easily

swapped out so that anyone can quickly

reconfigure their needs. Components include

puck or linear LED lights, USB and power outlet

modules, and a digital music kit, plus mobile

and tablet cradles.

With the adorne collection, Legrand

has underscored its reputation for taking

residential electrical products to the next

level with innovations such as the no-touch Wave™ Switch—ideal

for cooks with messy hands—and the Touch™ (think iPod®) Switch.

adorne also offers the sleek, bathroom-friendly Pop-Out™ Outlet and

an array of elegant designer-finished wall plates. Legrand’s newest

inspiring and streamlined solution simplifies power and lighting

needs in the room that requires the most flexibility. To discover

more, visit www.adornemyhome.com.

tHe Most discerning of clients have new shopping habits when

it comes to remodeling kitchens. They are more involved with the

kitchen remodeling process and they are more conscious of their

decisions—but, they still want a signature look.

That’s where Eggersmann comes in. The boutique-style

manufacturer of high-end European kitchens offer styles and

heavily textured finishes that aren’t available elsewhere, says

Michael Soltoff, president of Eggersmann USA. “We are relatively

small compared to other larger European name brands,

but that means we offer tremendous flexibility to the

designer,” he says. “We can turn on a dime and react to

market needs.”

Eggersmann’s niche audience requires distinctive

product, no doubt about that. In fact, Eggersmann’s

Silver Touch hot rolled stainless steel finish is so

striking, yet so durable, it was recently one of two

kitchen materials which won a prestigious Good Design

award from The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of

Architecture and Design.

The innovations continue with Eggersmann’s

Phyllite stone, which is now offered on the company’s

popular Unique Collection. The very durable natural

material has a black cleft surface similar to slate with

veining and sparkling mica scattered throughout. In

addition, Eggersmann offers heavily embossed veneers, rough

cross-cut veneers and sandblasted veneers for a distinctive visual

and tactile appeal.

For clients looking at value-priced options, Eggersmann

has introduced a melamine resin wood grain finish. It’s a high-

styled product for a lower cost—an innovative move that is giving

Eggersmann its leading edge in the U.S. contemporary kitchen

design market.

HARDWOOD FLOORING

witH advaNces in engineered wood, BR-111 sees an increase in

wood flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. “It used to be taboo to

put wood flooring in kitchens and bathrooms,” says Keith Barrette

of BR-111, the renowned exotic flooring manufacturer. “The stability

and proprietary finishes of engineered wood means that these

rooms are now perfect candidates for wood flooring, and also wood

wall treatments.”

BR-111’s new Reserve Collection and Metro Collection

of ultra-wide eight-inch wide by ¾-inch thick planks bring

engineered wood to the next level. The Reserve Collection’s aged

European Oak is thermal-treated to force color to fully penetrate

the veneer. Unlike regular staining, BR-111’s thermal treating

technique changes the color of the wood to make it vibrant and

helps hide scratches or dents that may occur over time.

In high demand is BR-111’s Metro Collection of exotic species

including Brazilian Walnut (Ipe), Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba), Santos

Mahogany and Tigerwood, available in both a smooth Aluminum

Oxide natural finish, as well as a hand-wire brushed natural oil

finish to enhance the wood’s inherent beauty.

Both Reserve and Metro have a four-millimeter-thick wear

layer allowing the wood to be sanded and refinished numerous

times, and a 50-year warranty because of the products’ extreme

durability.

BR-111 has launched a “Refer-a-Friend” online program;

refer a friend to BR-111 and earn money and credits for future

purchases. Visit br111.com for more details.

Not too long ago, it was the norm for customers to buy down

a notch, says David Lyon of Blackman Plumbing Supply. But now,

Blackman’s showrooms are jam-packed and consumer buying habits

have taken a turn for the better. “Our customers are no longer cutting

corners,” says Lyon. “They are spending more on products that they

use on a daily basis in the kitchen and bath.”

As Lyon recently saw first-hand in Europe, there are

products for the everyday kitchen and bath that will soon

merit customer attention. Blackman will have many of these

outstanding products.

For the bath, Duravit introduces a new technology making

it possible to install wood countertops in the bathroom without

any threat from water or humidity damage. Customers can visit

Blackman’s Manhattan, Southampton, and Huntington showrooms

to see Duravit’s Onto collection of exposed wood bath furniture.

One of Lyon’s favorite kitchen products is Grohe’s carbonated

water system. “A cartridge turns a sink faucet into a carbonated

water tap,” he says, adding that this concept eliminates the

numerous plastic bottles carbonated water lovers accumulate.

Blackman Studio Southampton is their new 12,000 sq. ft.

showroom featuring the finest selection of designer plumbing

fixtures, tile, stone & lighting too. With Blackman Outdoor they have

created a new year-round, outdoor lifestyle showroom. Complete

with a working outdoor kitchen featuring luxury appliances from

smokers to grills, refrigeration and stainless steel cabinets, all custom

made. You will see the Blue Moon personal spa from Duravit, a

leading global manufacturer as well as carved stone fire pits, outdoor

showering systems, outdoor fountains and pavers.

“wHeN i FoUNded Artistic Tile over 25 years ago, I knew stone

would always be in a distinct league of its own. One only needs to

look at the streets and structures of places in antiquity to see that

stone is one of the world’s most venerable and resilient materials.

Stone lasts forever. It connects us to history. It is a grand, precious,

permanent material that retains its value. It’s made by the Earth

and unique in its every piece.

In the past few years, the home has changed from a place of

investment to a place of sanctuary. It’s a place to raise a family,

a panacea from the world outside and a place to build memories.

It’s a place to be proud of. Customers frequently come into our

showrooms looking for porcelain in applications for their homes

where stone would be a better choice. In many cases, porcelain is

the right choice over stone—it is often less expensive, has less of

the variance that natural stone offers, and it is virtually impervious

to etching and stains. However, many of the reasons that customers

choose porcelain over stone are simply myths. For example,

homeowners often believe that only porcelain can be maintained in

kitchens and bathrooms. It still gets dirty, it just doesn’t stain; but

nor does stone when properly sealed.

Cubic Zirconium can be lovely, but every bride wants a

diamond. Porcelain gets old, stone ages. We love porcelain when

state-of-the-art technology is used to create something unique, but

fake stone is fake stone. Porcelain has many great applications,

but in the rooms of your home that define who you and your family

are, ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby. At Artistic Tile, we

wHere caN you find one of the most efficient, streamlined

freestanding ranges that seem tailor made for Manhattan homes? AJ

Madison, with its extensive appliance selection in its showroom and

website, is featuring the stainless GE Café line, an upscale model

double oven range with professional cooking features bundled into a

standard 30-inch wide size. The GE Café line focuses on duplicating

restaurant-quality meals in the home.

Inspired by professional restaurant kitchens, the Café double

oven gas range is ideal for use during entertaining and holiday meals

because it roasts, bakes, grills, and boils simultaneously. Even in

its modest footprint, the stovetop features include a three-in-one

burner and a fifth burner on the stovetop that converts to a non-stick

griddle, and a precise simmer burner for delicate foods and sauces.

The self-clean double ovens gas range total 6.7 cubic feet in total

capacity, surpassing the typical 5.0 cubic feet capacity of ranges the

same size. The range measures 30” wide, 29.25” in depth, and 37.25”

in height. This oven has three regular oven shelves and a special

lower shelf position that sits off the floor and fits extra-large items,

such as a turkey. The top convection oven is designed to circulate air

throughout the cavity to evenly bake and roast.

Call for details at 718-732-4951 or check the showroom’s

website for more information at ajmadison.com.

koHler’s New Numi toilet may not include a built-in humidor or

panini maker as comedian Conan O’Brien envisions in his famous

spoof about the new product, but it’s unique enough for Davis

& Warshow to be one of the few companies in the country to

feature the high-tech toilet in its showrooms. Numi’s integrated

bidet, automatic seat and lid raiser, built-in seat warmer and foot

warmer, built-in music player and FM radio are all controlled by a

touch-screen remote control. Besides the comfort features, Numi

has advanced flush technology making this one of the best water

conserving toilets on the market.

Davis & Warshow’s showrooms report that showering systems

are the most important renovation projects because homeowners

infrequently use tubs and whirlpools today. The best bet for

remodeling dollars—electronic showering systems like Kohler’s DTV

and a thermostatic faucet system that lets you adjust temperatures

and simultaneously work multiple sprays and nozzles in the shower.

Don’t forget the still popular steam shower—along with a high-quality

exhaust fan.

Davis & Warshow’s seven award-winning showrooms in the New

York region mean that there’s always guidance and expert advice at

every turn in the tri-state area when it comes to quality kitchen and

bathroom remodeling projects.

B i l o t ta

Bilotta kitcHeNs’ Mamaroneck showroom continues to create

a fresh ambience filled with vignettes in updated color palettes,

says resident designer Peter Bittner. “Grey—in all shades—is the

new white for all surfaces such as cabinets, backsplashes and

countertops for both traditional and contemporary design,” says

Bittner. “There is also an introduction of metal in unexpected places

in the kitchen, such as door inserts and trim.”

Bittner also sees a soaring popularity for modular cooktop

systems. “You can personalize your cooking surface to get the

best of everything,” he says. “Instead of one 36-inch gas cooktop,

for example, people are able to install smaller 15-inch appliances

combining induction, gas and electric—even a steamer—all on one

surface and in one space.”

Another shift in kitchen design is the increased use of LED

lighting. “LED lighting is essential now for under-cabinet and

in-drawer lighting, toe-kicks and floor lighting.” Bittner explains

that LED lighting lasts significantly longer than halogen and it’s

available in warm or cool tones depending on a homeowner’s

needs.

Regardless of kitchen style, one change has streamlined the

kitchen, leaving more space and less clutter. Bittner remembers

a decade ago the necessity of a kitchen desk area to house a

phone, television and file drawer. Needs have shifted, he says,

“Homeowners now have one simple high-tech piece of equipment

that combines television, Internet and electronic filing.” As kitchen

needs continue to evolve, Bilotta carves out the way in traditional

to contemporary designs. To see new displays, please visit one of

Bilotta’s three showrooms, including the Mamaroneck location.

Soapstone_NYS_ad.indd 1 9/6/12 6:32 PM

“tHere are a lot of questions, rumors, myths and misinformation

about the hardness and durability of soapstone. But I will put

these issues to rest with some simple facts about this beautiful,

naturally quarried stone used for countertops and floors and other

architectural applications in kitchens and baths. Soaptsone is the

only stone we work with, it’s our specialty, so we are very serious

about the quality of our products. We are a nationwide distributor

with the largest collection of soapstone available in the United

States imported from Brazil and India.

Soapstone has veining, much like marbles, and distinctive

markings which mineral oil or wax treatments often bring out and

highlight. Although soft, soapstone is a very dense (non-porous)

stone, more so than marble, slate, limestone and even granite

which has a propensity to soil. Soapstone is impenetrable so it

will not stain, no liquid can permeate its surface and that is why

it is a widely popular material used in chemistry lab countertops

and acid rooms.

What we manufacture and import at M. Teixeira Soapstone

has a hardness which makes the material completely suitable for

architectural applications. What happens if soapstone is scratched?

Scratches can be easily sanded out with sandpaper, and a dab of

mineral oil or soapstone wax will hide it.

We quarry our soapstone, cut and polish (hone) the slabs,

export, import, fabricate custom soapstone products, and install it.

We also custom-cut to size and ship slabs for self-fabrication. We

take pride in seeing the raw stone at the quarry, then seeing it take

shape in our client’s homes.”

We design and install our modular furniture to fit

New Yorkers have everything but space, and after over twenty

years of modular system installations in Manhattan, techlineStudio’s

motto remains “furniture that fits,” says Gavin Bromell, architect

and company owner. “While we are offering an unprecedented

range of material and finish options, they are being deployed in ever

smaller spaces.”

In addition to an expanding demand for space-efficient

design strategies, Gavin is seeing a return to the more modest

kitchen design goals he encountered when technlineStudio was

launched over two decades ago. “It seems that people are realizing

the limitations of trendier styles and are, again, seeking a more

timelessly modern design,” he says. “The main difference now is that

clients have broadened their perception of value to include simplicity

and honesty of materials.”

There’s also an increasing interest in environmentally sound

solutions. “Our newest line of cabinetry, BREATH, is made from

renewable bamboo veneers on formaldehyde free substrates. When

used with countertops of Paperstone, or quartz with recycled

content, these cabinets are both beautiful and functional,” he adds.

Newer options from techlineStudio include metal cabinet door

frames by Elements in six different profiles. Each profile accepts

a wide range of insert materials, ranging from textured glass to

offers is high gloss thermofoil fronts, which are a very cost effective

and environmentally kinder alternative to high gloss lacquer.

cabinetry solutions for home offices, Murphy bed and entertainment

units, libraries, children’s bedrooms, and of course, pantries, bar

UsiNG ModerN technology in bathroom remodels makes it

possible to conserve up to 70 percent of the water typically used

in older versions of plumbing fixtures, says Brian Reichenbach of

Consolidated Plumbing Supply, a Kohler distributor in Westchester

since 1928. But the beauty of these advances is that they offer a

more comfortable experience while reducing annual water costs.

Toilets manufactured before the 1990s used 3.5 gallons, or

more, of water with every flush. But today, most of Kohler’s toilets

including the Cimarron model flush stronger with 1.28 gallons per

flush. “Technology has solved the earlier issues of low-water-use

toilets that did not perform as well,” says Reichenbach, who adds

that based on a household of four, these newer toilets can save

homeowners up to 16,500 gallons of water per fixture each year than

the traditional 3.5 gallon models.

Kohler’s Katalyst showerheads intensify the flow of water even

at 2 gallons per minute (gpm). The showerhead’s design maximizes

the flow of water while infusing two liters of air per minute.

Products like Katalyst can save 35 percent in water costs per year.

The Katalyst system is available on many Kohler shower heads.

Kohler’s single-control Toobi faucet delivers a solid pressure of

water at 1.5 gpm. Toobi faucets carry the WaterSense label, which

means its low-flow aerator offers water savings of up to 30 to 45

percent a year over traditional 2.5 gpm faucets. It’s now easier than

ever to choose.

elGot kitcHeN & Bath, a family-owned and well-known

establishment in Manhattan for over 65 years specializing in the

design and installation of New York kitchens and bathrooms,

continues to see a healthier pace in real estate activity which

is positively affecting the remodeling market. While well-priced

residences are selling quickly, other Manhattan residents have

decided to remain in their apartments, choosing to remodel their

spaces so they can enjoy their home while enhancing its value.

“To achieve those goals, New Yorkers are looking for simple

and well-styled remodels for both kitchens and bathrooms,” says

Ellen Elias of Elgot.

Manhattan residents continue to prefer contemporary kitchens

with stainless appliances, says Elias, who has helped limitless

customers complete their renovations.

The most important change Elias has noticed is the continuing

demand to maximize storage space in all parts of the home. “To

benefit from the most organization in your kitchen and bath,

you need help from the experts who know how to configure and

customize cabinetry to fit your specific needs,” says Elias.

Elias says that the trend towards simplicity in design has

changed the way bathrooms are remodeled, as well. Of those who

have homes with more than one bathroom, many New Yorkers are

taking out the bathtub and replacing it with a walk-in shower to

update the space. “Homeowners who prefer tubs are choosing high-

quality models with uncluttered styling,” says Elias.

Please visit Elgot’s showroom to meet with New York’s

remodeling experts and to see the latest innovations in appliances

and cabinetry.

Hot Water (Hydronic) Steam Electric

Runtal NYSpaces AD.indd 1 3/22/12 11:35 AM

For Years, Runtal Radiators, known for luxury designer towel

radiators and decorative forced hot-water and steam heating

products, was asked by clients to introduce an electric baseboard

radiator. To commemorate Runtal’s 25th year of manufacturing

product in its Haverhill, Massachusetts factory for the North

American market, it has brought to the architect and design

community a sleek, patent-pending baseboard-style electric radiator.

The Runtal electric baseboard radiator is designed to heat an entire

house that has electric heat, eliminate cold spots in a home and

supplement other heating sources.

There is no other electric baseboard product that

compares with the Runtal product. Runtal’s electric baseboard

has a welded steel construction with a durable powder coat

finish, and the unit gives high output of even radiant heat

while producing a low surface temperature so the radiator is

comfortable to the touch.

The beauty of the Runtal Electric Baseboard is in its detailing.

The unit’s European styling integrates well with any architectural

style or décor. Baseboard panels are available in three-foot to

ten-foot lengths in both 208 and 240 volts. The unit comes in ten

standard Runtal colors and there are over a hundred optional colors

from which to choose, including aluminum and satin nickel, and

white is always in stock.

The Runtal Electric Baseboard’s subtle profile measures 2 ½

inches from the wall, a critical detail for small spaces—especially in

Manhattan—where every inch counts.

knoWn WorldWide For luxury toWel radiators and decorative heating products, runtal

marks a special anniversary year With an innovative designer electric BaseBoard heater.

caNterBUrY desiGN’s Jim Dove along with Melissa Seibold

and Alison Griffin designed the recent showstopper the “Suite

Retreat Kitchen” at the Glynallyn Mansion in May-2012, Designer

Show house.

Modern Classics is a term that we use to describe an aesthetic

quality that we often produce. People like the peaceful quality of

clean modern lines, but most of our clients live in traditional homes

so it is important for us to acknowledge this. We strive to get the

correct push and pull of colors textures and forms, and once we’ve

gone through the process, the results are quite rewarding.

The color palette and materials of the kitchen are crisp and

clean with various colors and textures. Cabinetry details are subtle

and refined. The walls of the space were purposefully extended to

create a bay for the La Cornue handmade French range. Within the

walls the Sub-Zero refrigerator, food pantry and dish hutch were

recessed. The elegant arch encompasses the dark navy blue range

and adjoins the La Cornue drawer cabinets acting as the centerpiece

of the design. The island is a unique piece of furniture. We used

Danby Marble for the countertop, very classic and timeless material.

However, because it is so thick, and we used a square edge profile,

it had a more modern feel. While we wanted the island to have

light furniture feels, we didn’t want to use large turnings or legs

because we felt that the aesthetic was perhaps too traditional and

expected. Instead, we created large panels with smaller turning

beneath them, with a mirror toe kick that reflects the floor. This gives

the island the optical illusion that it is floating whilst still hiding all of

the plumbing for the sink and Dishwasher.

All of this produces a space that is the perfect combination

and juxtaposition of light and airiness, and cozy warmth––Sleek

sophistication and traditional familiarity.

The space has an open floor to the adjacent living area which

provides a modern living approach….” Come see The LA CORNUE at

our showroom in Morristown.

oN a personal note, Larry Goren, co-owner of Hardware Designs,

has an overwhelming urge to buy American products—from cars

to clothing—whenever possible. On a business note, Goren also

strongly believes in the quality and design of American-made

kitchen and bath wares.

Alongside many of the world’s highest quality luxury

products, Hardware Designs, suppliers of bath, kitchen, and

architectural hardware, and specialty lighting plus interior and

exterior doors and related hardware, carries a number of American

vendors, but as Goren adds, it takes consumer support to keep

manufacturing alive in this country. Goren cites Watermark

Designs in Brooklyn, New York, and Waterstone in Southern

California, as two of Hardware Designs’ leading American vendors

of kitchen and bath products made in the U.S. Watermark Designs,

a 30-year-old manufacturer of luxury decorative plumbing fixtures

and bath accessories, and Waterstone’s high-end faucets, both

remain successful in this economic climate because of its

superior quality products crafted in state-side factories by

dedicated employees.

Understandably, budget constraints can rule a project, but

Goren says that you can get a lot of product for your money

today—even American product. As overseas wages rise, so do the

prices of imports, perhaps leveling the playing field a bit more

than in prior years. That means consumers now have the option of

paying for American quality rather than paying a similar price for

cheaper imported goods often found online or in discount retailers.

The selection at Hardware Designs’ showroom is endless,

as are the functioning displays of sinks, vanities, faucets, hygiene

technologies and lighting solutions. To get a preview, visit the

website for an extensive gallery of ideas.
