Kitchen And Bath Finds From KBIS2018 That You Will Love! - Part 2

Who doesn't love some beautiful organization? Or gorgeous cabinetry? Or extra long kitchen sinks? How about throwing away that ironing board and never needing to iron anything again? Oh, that got you, didn't it?

KBIS2018 was one of our sponsors on this trip to KBIS2018 with Modenus' annual Blogtour. I was thrilled to be involved again this year with my KBIS ticket, airfare, and hotel being paid for by these amazing brands, Lixil (Grohe, American Standard, and DXV), Thermador, Mr. Steam, Metrie, Wilsonart, and KBIS. All comments and opinions expressed here are my own.

Now let's get to some pretty stuff. Maybe some cabinetry first. We're definitely seeing more wood cabinets these days.

Love the wood/painted combination of cabinetry here #kitchencabinets #cabinetry

Kitchen Sinks KBIS2018

These really caught my eye. The Galley is taking the extra long kitchen sink (seen a lot at last year's KBIS) to a whole new level. With two faucets needed with most of these, this actually seems like a great idea for a small kitchen.  

I can see these as full prep centers, easy to use for clean up too. I have one client who did a larger, more layered sink on a job and she said she really tends to prep more at her sink now than on the countertop. 

Interesting concept and I would love to try one out for awhile. I do love my large, single bowl kitchen sink. We have a stainless rack in the bottom and a cutting board, and it's usefulness is much improved over the double compartment.

If you are up for some real dazzling products for your kitchen, Thompson Traders has gorgeous metal sinks and hoods to brighten up your life. Their booth was truly show-stopping! These were real works of art.

Appliances kbis2018

Appliances were really on my radar this year. So many were going with smart home technology, like this refrigerator from LG. 

You can basically look up your recipe on your fridge, then send the info to your oven for timed cooking, without having to touch the oven controls. 

LG seems to really have a handle on smart home features and having their appliances connect to each other and your devices with their cloud technology.

Smart home technology was a big feature at KBIS2018, seen in this refrigerator that can send recipe data to the oven. #smarthome #appliances #lgappliances

Check out this beautiful matte black finish on the LG refrigerator. It's smudgeproof!

Their matte black finish was a new intro this year. It hides fingerprints too. #matteblack #blackappliances #blackrefrigerator

If I was designing a closet or laundry room for myself right now, here is the one item I would splurge on. The Styler from LG. 

We all crowded around to see this because well, who likes ironing? 

This is a steamer basically, and only needs an outlet, not a water connection. You add the water to the reservoirs in the bottom. You can put wrinkled clothes in the unit and 40 min. later, voila! Wrinkle free clothes!

You can put pillows, stuffed animals, stinky sport equipment, it steams them clean too. 

I've already mentioned it to a few clients who are starting remodels right now. I think this appliance will be on everyone's wish list. There is a 24" and an 18" wide version, they had one inside a cabinet, so it can be tucked away out of site.

Genius. Much better than a big steamer unit or especially, the ironing board!

Let's say you are kind of like me and not much of a cook these days. Let's say, however, that you drive through Starbucks a lot and have seen these "Sous-vide" egg cups that they now have on the menu.

Were you wondering, "What the heck?"

Here is Wikipedia's definition:

Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times

Who knew? (And those egg cups are awesome, btw!)

This Signature Kitchen Suite range has so many features, one is a Sous-vide section on the top. It also has induction cooking on the other side! Amazing options for all kinds of cooking methods.

Take a look below.

Elkay is developing a water bottle filler you can install in your mudroom or maybe even a home gym? I can see this as being really handy for lots of families.

Check out the indoor pizza oven from Monogram. Apparently you can make all kinds of tasty foods in there, there was a chef demonstrating. BTW, you would think it would be hot in front of that open oven, but it wasn't.

If you don't have room in your kitchen for the indoor model, there are always the outdoor versions! You could have a little piece of Italy in your backyard with these from Fontana. #pizzaoven #outdoorpizzaoven 

I always love seeing the Bertazzoni ranges. Their details are so clean and beautifully designed.

My designer friend, Arianne Bellizaire, from Baton Rouge, designed this gorgeous booth for Perlick. They make amazing beverage refrigeration, in sizes that are not commonly available, like an 18" deep model.
