12 Dec Wait! Don’t Do the Laundry Yet!
BLANCO takes function and beauty #BeyondTheKitchen with new LIVEN™ and QUATRUS™ R15 Single Bowl Laundry Sinks.
Stop doing that laundry right now! Yes, you have my full permission to slack off and leave the laundry piles in the baskets or on the floor. When your spouse says "Hey, what's up with the laundry not being done??"
22 Oct Nostalgic Textures and Faded Tones – A Story of Innocence and Loss
"RESPONSIVE TEXTILES was founded on the idea that clothes are our second skin, and they should be as unique and human as we are." -- Kristine Rodriguez
A few weeks ago during New York Fashion Week (NYFW) I had the opportunity to write a story for a top kitchen and bath luxury brand BLANCO, and pair their IKONIC sinks and faucets with fashion hot off the runway of NYFW. I had heard of, but didn't know too much about, the up-and-coming fashion brand RESPONSIVE TEXTILES. I fell in love with the Bennu Skirt which I featured in my lead off image below. (If you missed that sponsored post, no worries, you can read it right HERE.)

With New York Fashion Week upon us, it's exciting to see what the hottest trends will be for 2017. When it's high fashion time on the runway, we can usually predict in the home furnishing industry that this year's runway styles will make its way into home decor by the following year.
22 Apr Deborah Main’s Earth Day Tips with BLANCO
Today is Earth Day and we at Deborah Main Designs plan to celebrate in a big way with a new composting system! 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. Also check out BLANCO by Design's blog to see all the videos from #BlogTourNYC they will feature this week, and learn more about their fabulous kitchen products.
