Rutt Cabinetry Ruskin Strutting with Rutt is a great thing...you wanna know why?  Because Rutt Cabinetry is pure magic. They know inside and out fine craftsmanship and artistry and what kind of luxury experience their cabinetry can truly provide for their customer. So much that in their words, "For those who know, Rutt Handcrafted Cabinetry is truly the only choice". And while on #BlogTourNYC and at The 2014 Architectural Digest Home Design Show I learned why.

Deborah Main Designs received some wonderful press from our trip to New York for #BlogTourNYC in the May/June 2014 issue of NHome magazine.  Remember how I had to hold back a bit on some of my design finds from The Architectural Digest Home Design Show?  Well, not anymore.  NHome Texas Magazine is now online and on news stands, so I'm VERY excited to share with you a lot more about the designs I selected.

The Architectural Digest Home Design Show is one of the premier design shows in NYC showcasing thousands of products from over 300 different brands. Inspiration was everywhere!  I've ALWAYS wanted to attend because I've been an avid fan of the magazine and all the incredible products and features. This years keynote speaker was none other than AD Editor-in-Chief Margaret Russell. The AD Home Show also included lectures hosted by Architectural Digest and design seminars hosted by The New York Times. Other exciting activities included:

First off I'd like to introduce one of the generous sponsors, BLANCO, who paid for my trip and expenses to New York last month for #BlogTourNYC. (My trip was also sponsored, and paid for, by Modenus, Miele, DXV, Rutt Cabinetry, Prizer Hoods and West Edge Design Fair; all opinions are my own.)

While attending the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, BLANCO videotaped all twelve bloggers, in groups of three, to share our "Earth Day Tips" with consumers. We had so much fun making the "Earth Day" videos that we wanted to share it with you on this special day.

Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 with over 20 million Americans helping to launch the modern environmental movement. The Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act along with other substantial environmental policies followed closely behind. Now more than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day every year in order to increase awareness and funding to protect the environment and all the beauty the world has to offer us.  How are you celebrating Earth Day today and every day?

Please watch the video below, which BLANCO produced on #BlogTourNYC, to learn some "Earth Day Tips" from Jeanne Chung , Typhanie Peterson, and myself, that you can use every day.  I personally compost, but BLANCO  inspired me to make more efficient use of my kitchen too.
