That's right. Today I'm back in the BA (big apple but you should know that). If you recall, I was here only 6 months ago during fashion week courtesy of Brizo Faucets. Click here for a journey 6 months back in time. Wouldn't you know it, the amazing exhibit Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen at MOMA opened within days of my departure necessitating a return trip before it closes on March 11th. Some savvy bloggers wrote about it on the front end so I'm going to wrap it up for you and send it out with a bang. I'll be there on Sunday. Tomorrow I'll be visiting the new super slick Scavolini showroom in Soho. I hear it's not to be missed so I will also be bringing you the latest in Italian kitchen design from this progressive cabinet manufacturer. Now if you know me, you'll know I have to fit in a little art and guess what's happening this weekend? Yes that's right, the Armory Art Show.

TORONTO HERE I COME!
Yes, it's true. I'm off again on another great adventure this time courtesy of Blanco. As you'll remember, last September I had the pleasure of attending design week as a guest of the uber edgy Brizo Faucets. Click here. Now I will be able to give you the low down the on Blanco sinks you can pair with the amazing products at Brizo.
This Blanco press release says it best.
"Morning, noon, and night, the sink is the most frequently used area in the kitchen. From early morning, through a hectic day, an evening meal, and the solitude of late night, the sink serves as both hard working companion and fashionable focal point.
For more than 80 years, BLANCO has been a world leader in quality, innovative design and unsurpassed attention to detail. The company pioneered the use of stainless steel for kitchen sinks and was the first company to introduce hard composite materials such as Silgranit®.
Today, BLANCO has the most extensive line of premium quality kitchen sinks offered in North America, continuing to lead the evolution of the kitchen sink area with functional concepts, striking good looks, and innovative solutions, sure to personalize the most frequently used area of the kitchen."
...And that's not all. I will also have the pleasure of touring IDS11, Canada's largest contemporary design fair. My press release will take me who knows where and you can join me here at Kitchens for Living. The fun starts January 26th. The countdown begins now!

What a great beginning! Actually saw a rainbow on the way to the airport. Made it just in time, without cutting it too close. Even had enough time to buy a Vanity Fair (old September issue). Will send pix upon arrival. Can't wait to see what Brizo has in store for us today and to meet other attendees.

| Stretching out, cause I can. |
Great flight (crazy landing though). I even got to stretch my legs out on two vacant seats in my row. How often does that happen? Limo arrived to pick me up, yes only me, and shuttled me to the ritzy 70 Park Avenue Hotel. I could just imagine people wondering who that was in the stretch limo with the obligatory blacked out windows. Inside I simply stretched out and enjoyed the view and reggaeton music (96.3FM) on the radio. Just one glitch so far. Upon landing, I discovered that my cell phone payment had not gone through, so no cell phone. No cell phone for me, hubby, daughter or step-son. Tackled that little BIG issue and phone is back up, running and paid two for months! Now let the games begin!! More later.
