National Kitchen and Bath Show - Oh The Places I've Been

The National Kitchen and Bath

Show and the International Builder's

Show were held this year in February

in Las Vegas.

This is a show I always love to

attend to see all of the new trends

and products.

The kitchen and bath products are always the most exciting.

The show is heavily attended and this year

we actually had a booth for the first time

showing Whitewater and Tyvarian's 

kitchen and bath products.

This is our new freestanding tub and skirt.

All of the really big names in

the business are there and it is really

exciting.

As an interior designer spanning 35 years

I can tell you that the designs and colors

just cycle around and around. 

You couldn't find dark wood,

we are now moving into the

reclaimed wood phase (what

was last time known as pickled wood.) 

I just could never go for Harvest Gold

and Avocado Green appliances again

(from the lovely 70's)

but here they are and at a whopping $7,000

for an oven!

This oven advertises that it has winds 

up to 60 miles an hour inside.

Kohler is the biggest of the biggies

and it is like going to a rock concert

in their gigantic booth.

After the show hubby surprised

me with tickets to Shania Twain.

She is quite the entertainer.  I was so 

thrilled to attend.

And of course we had to visit

the Wicked Spoon

where everything comes in small

pans, bowls and fun dishes.

Not only is the presentation fun

but the food is fabulous.

And we couldn't go to Las Vegas without

a visit to

Hash House A Go Go

and have their famous 

Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles.

(Click here for my copycat recipe.)

But this time I wanted to try something 

new so I tried Man vs Food's favorite

Sage Fried Chicken Benedict.

I love the sweet and savory of the

waffles, but this savory, slightly

spicy chipotle cream sauce

smothering the Sage Fried Chicken

which sits on top of giant fluffy

biscuits which is atop a generous

serving of mashed potatoes has

to be my new favorite.

So the show was food for

the eye and Las Vegas had

great food for the belly.

Now we hope that the economy

can change around and provide

food for the table!!
