Only days away from my next adventure, a reunion for all the bloggers who have been a part of Brizo’s Blogger 19.In case you don’t know, this is a bi-annual jaunt to fashion week sponsored by Brizo Faucets who teams up with fashion designer Jason Wu. I was a part of the second group to go back in September of 2010. Seems like eons ago! There have been many blogging trips since then but it will be great to reconnect with all the blogosphere peeps.
The reunion will be held in Memphis and since this is the number one question I get, I’ll answer right off the bat, no I’m not going to Graceland! Where we will be going is on a tour of the Brizo plant in Jackson, just outside of Memphis, where we will learn how their cutting edge products are produced. I always love to get an inside peak at the how’s and whys. It’s such a great tool to have for my clients.
We will also be spending a day at the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital which should be amazing. I recently learned that since 1962 treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80%! Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.Wheels up on the 16th. Remember to follow me on FaceBook and Twitter. Look for #blogger19reunion on Twitter.
NATURE OF BATHROOM LUXURY
Today "call of nature" takes on an entirely new meaning when it comes to bathroom design. As the Green Movement gains momentum, we turn our attention towards nature and the beauty of organic elements. Nowhere is that more appropriate than in the bath, today's sanctuary, a place to get away from it all. Two products that stand out to me in this regard is the Vesi Channel Faucet by Brizo and the beautiful vanities at Stone Forest.The Vesi Channel Faucet by Brizo, inspired by a real life experience of nature takes it to the next level. Check out this brief video featuring Judd Lord (badass name and creative hot guy all in one), Director of Industrial Design for Brizo.Stone Forest, based in New Mexico, has been crafting design elements for kitchens, baths and landscaping since 1989. For the most part, the lines are straight and simple allowing the natural beauty of the material to take center stage.
