Having a towel warmer can go a long way towards making the bathing experience more pleasurable. How many times do you dread leaving the comfort of a shower or bathtub on a bitter cold day? If you are like me, this is not something that you look forward to. Having a heated towel can maintain the "warm chain" as you exit the shower or bathtub and set foot into the bathroom. This product by Thermique is a free standing unit that requires a standard plug outlet for electrical power. There is a pane of glass that the towel drapes over that conducts heat to keep the towel warm. Thermique offers 8 combinations of finishes and colors to help match it to your bathroom's colors. There is also a wall mounted example that I included in this article. I like the fact that the towel warmer is "free standing" and therefore can be stored away during warmer months creating more space in the bathroom. More information: here.

One of the great things about running Furniture Fashion is getting a chance to meet designers and get a glimpse into their creativity. Beyond that, I really enjoy seeing new contemporary furniture designs come to market. Milla Rezanova sent in these samples that feature contemporary styling at its highest level of creativity. There is a wide sampling of seating coupled with a lighting and coffee table example. Perhaps, the most striking to me is the coffee table design followed by the white dining chairs. I find both of these to be fascinating new furniture designs. Website: Milla Rezanova.

When you see a picture you often get an image in your mind about where the image came from. The kitchen cabinets and island in this picture caught me by surprise. I first came by the picture before the story and saw what appeared as a very "current" design. I found out that this design was the end result of a recreation of a house that was built in New Jersey in 1921. The architect was Richard Bubnowski. The home owners wanted to create the original look on the outside of the home so they stuck to a craftsman style bungalow on a tiny lot that measured 40' x 93'. I must say that I love this kitchen design and in particular the wood cabinets, island, and flooring. The finish in the kitchen is not too dark and not too light creating a great overall feel for an older styled home. It is even harder to imagine that the square footage in the home is 2,100 square feet and yet this kitchen looks so spacious. Via.
