Wow. Even though I arrived Saturday afternoon it is still hard to believe I’m back in San Diego. My mind is jumbled with a kaleidoscope of sights, images, and impressions of an absolutely glorious trip to Toronto, Canada as a guest of Blanco.

This is what Blanco has to say about sinks: “Who hasn’t longed for a little more space when cooking? Lots of kitchens often only have a little space for food preparation or for collecting dirty dishes. The smaller a kitchen is, the more important the sink is as the central working area.”

I ended last year with Lafabbrica, and I would like to begin the New Year with more of their output, because theirs is a tile company that deliberately creates cutting edge designs and then finds a way to make them happen. We can see that philosophy at work in their Floral Tiles.

Keuco has a number of bathroom designs that would bring a wonderful bit of flair to any bathroom, but especially so, I think, for the smaller bathrooms that are the bane of my existence.
