Artquitect takes bathroom culture to the next level with their collection that features the works of European maestros and pioneers that have shared sensitivity for design. The AQHayon collection from designer Jamie Hayon demonstrates a traditional high curved leg style and a shallow profile that takes the tub down to the ground and in plain view. The bathtub often is a place for reflection and relaxation and Hayon includes and complimentary series of bathroom accessories and cabinetry as well as a most unusual space for compliments within reach. Hayon sees the bathroom as sterile for the most part in dire need of style and color with furniture that can be used in any part of the house. The entire Hayon Studio Collection is something out of this world and shows how tasteful difference can be.
As the time of year changes into Fall, I start thinking about soups and stews. My crock pot is something that I get out and start using again. Typically, in the summer time I do not use it as often since it is so hot outside. If you are in need of a crock pot, the KSC700 slow cooker from KitchenAid has all the features necessary to prepare a meal. My favorite feature is that it is dishwasher safe though usually these pots are very easy to clean. It has a timer with automatic shut-off or it can switch over to a warming mode. There is nothing like starting the week on a Monday and coming home to a kitchen full of aroma and knowing the fact that your meal is prepared! KSC700 comes in cinnamon, black, and stainless steel and retails for $129 here.

Standing on tile or hardwood floors for an extended period of time can create discomfort in your back or your feet. Usually by the time you notice the pain, it is too late as it seems to stay for several days. Kitchen floor mats that use gel to provide a cushion can be attractive while helping maintain feet and back health. The floor mats pictured here are from Gelpro and feature a weave pattern available in many colors. Gelpro offers two sizes of mats to fit the dimensions of your kitchen. For cooks who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, these gel mats can really be a lifesaver. I just picked up two of these this weekend and I can tell you that they make a difference. Measurements: 20" x 72" - $199; 20" x 36" - $99. Product: here.
Stainless steel is such a great medium for objects of design. In home décor, stainless is featured throughout the home. Though we most often associate it within the kitchen area, there are elements of it throughout the home. Take for instance this stainless steel coffee table. Called the Selina K, it features one piece of steel that has been shaped into a table. For me the shape of Selina K creates a design stir since it is not the typical "rectangular shaped" coffee table. The designer, Louis Lara, has shaped the piece into a flowing object bordering between art and furniture. The top features a grid that can also come with glass, stone, or wood.
