Adding on: K+BB Editorial Advisory Board

News Releases

Oct 1

If you picked up this months K+BB (Kitchen and Bath Business Magazine, kb online.com), you may have noticed a new Canadian added to their Editorial Advisory Board. That's me, and I'm more than honoured to join so many well respected industry peers and leaders from the trenches of the design academia and practices.

KB+B was started in 1955 and now reaches over 50,000 kitchen and bath design specialists, dealers, manufactures, fabricators, decorating pluming and hardware specialists, interior designers, Architects and general contractors each month.

I'm looking forward to closely working with all the professionals on the Advisory Board as we lead up to KBIS at Design and Construction Week in January!

Design Team takes on 5 shows in 1 week: #KBIS2016 #IDS16

What does a Design Team do when we're not working or playing? We go to DESIGN SHOWS all over the place. KBIS, IBS, IWCE, ITSE and IDS!

Q&A: Top 3 from IDSWest

It was a busy weekend, last. IDSWest knocked another big and beautiful show out of the preverbal PNW ballpark again. It's such a great show now, and so. much. happened. For the first time in IDSWest history, my break-out session with Judith A. Neary, CMKBD was sold out; and if that wasn't a banner day to report, I don't know what is.

Upcoming: IDSWest Trade Day and Caesarstone Stage

From September 24 - 27, 2015, IDSWest will take control of Vancouver's design community and make our head's spin. There is so much happening, it's hard to keep up, but I'm announcing my speaking schedule to keep you up to date and make sure you're on time. See you there!

A day with DXV is anything but standard

Press Release: Corey partners with @DXV by American Standard

Presenting a partnership with DXV by American Standard. A new luxury plumbing fixture and fitting brand.

Behind the Scenes: DXV Lofty Visions

There was so much pressure and so much intensity of this project. It was a complete whirlwind. And it was so much fun and an experience of a lifetime. I figured I would show off a few behind the scenes moments of the project and a look into my process.

@DXV Design Panel, #topsecret revealed

Every now and then something comes along that you just can not pass by. An opportunity to do something so uniquely special and different that it just draws you toward it like a magnet. Welcome the DXV Design Panel.

Predicting the future, KBIS

Having returned from KBIS and IBS this past week, I've been going through my photos and I have to say that I'm just not feeling it. Gone are the high-gloss cabinetry, the slick white surfaces, and the northern european-look plumbing fixtures. This is all good and all, but everything is old world, a return to patterns, or looking at the future.

Gessi: Challenging the place of water delivery #blogtourLDN

You are required to forgive me for the tartiness of my post - but today's is epic and GORGEOUS. May this find you in a form of sensuality and openness, tear drops and arches, swoops and sexiness. Bathroom porn. That's the theme today.

The New Maker-Culture: #BlogTourLDN

What's hot from The London Design Festival. It's all "Perfectly Imperfect" over in Europe and what's really amazing is to see the maker-culture come so vibrantly alive.

Laufen Bathrooms partners with Kartell: #BlogTourLDN

I have to admit. It's been 5 days back from London Design Festival and my brain is full of so much information that I don't even know where to begin. That, and the jet-leg knocked me off my feet, kind of makes me want to just curl up in a really big bathtub for days on end. So, here's a bit of Saturday bathroom porn.

Hot from #BlogTourLDN: Miele's kitchen of the future

BlogTour London with Modenus!

I've left for London to cavort with #BlogTourLDN care of Modenus, and although I'm pretty sure there is more than just ERII as the only Queen in London Town, I do hope that I catch a passing glimpse of HRH in a car, sedan, or lorry-truck.... I'll take anything.

Wheels up: Jenn-Air Designer Forums

I'm off to the brand-spanking-new World of Whirlpool in Chicago for the Jenn-Air Designer Forums with Ellen Cheever, CMKBD, ASID, CAPS and I plan on absorbing every single second of it. And eat pizza.

Designer Gone Wild at #blogtourLDN & @JennAirUSA

Please don't hate me because I'm either well connected or a "great-designer-apparent" with all this gallivanting across the globe. I really don't know how these things fall in my lap but they do and I'm not going to turn them away! That's right, more trips, more photos, more inspiration, more Instagram, and more great and cool content to bring to you. Kind of a great bunch of birthday presents!

Rollout the Custom Wallpaper

Art is important, and for an interior designer it is extremely important. Going to an art gallery, or even stopping for a moment at looking at art, helps the designer study the influences of today on society.

Behind the brand: Brizo.

A look back at last week's excursion into the thunderous experience that can only be described as an amazing fashion faucet brand.

Brizo and My Tennessee Waltz

What a week at the Brizo #Blogger19 Reunion! We laughed, we cried, we were angry, we became excited, and we connected with each other. Two bus-loads of us designer types took two days to tour St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Brizo factory floor in hot 'n sweaty Memphis. Seriously, I could not have chosen a more perfect antiperspirant and light-weight clothing.

Brizo #Blogger19 Reunion.

Now that I'm over my paper-gram incident (sorry, I just got a little excited there) and I have my blue suede shoes packed, I am off to Memphis for the Brizo Blogger 19 reunion.

Presenting: Certified Kitchen Designer #nextlevel

I am pleased to announce that I have earned the Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) certification from the National Kitchen & Bath Association (nkba.org)

Best of KBIS 2013

I have a new best friend. and their name is Ann Sacks.
