Even though it might not seem like it on the East Coast and in the Midwest because of the continuous cold weather and snowstorms, spring has officially arrived. And with it, we bring you our annual Kitchen and Bath focus.
It is no secret that the kitchen is the central focus of a home. For some reason, no matter what the size, it seems that is where family and guests congregate during parties and other gatherings — as well as in everyday life. So even in times when money is tight, many homeowners are investing in their kitchens, and tile and stone products seem to be the popular choice for creating their dream designs. In the feature, which begins on page 20, there are several examples of newly designed kitchens. While some were renovated to create or maximize space, others were redone to meet the homeowners’ changing tastes. But no matter what the reason behind the design, in each case, stone and tile were able to achieve the design aesthetic that was desired.
