Healing Steam Showers by Mr. Steam

As you may have seen from my Instagram photos this past week, I had the honor of being one of fifteen designers to represent BlogTour in Las Vegas (#blogtourVegas) at the the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). The week was filled with uncovering new design trends and seeing the latest and greatest products in kitchen and bath design. It was both exhilarating and exhausting. By the end of the week I needed downtime and a recharge. And to my rescue – the lovely folks at Mr. Steam who treated the BlogTour crew to experience first hand the healing properties of steam at the beautiful Aria Spa. Yep, it was fabulous.

You may know steambathing improves breathing and acts as a natural expectorant. But, did you know that it also hydrates dry skin, removes toxins from the body, boosts metabolism, promotes restful sleep, and increases circulation? These are just a few of the many benefits of steam therapy. So it’s no wonder that more and more homeowners are requesting steam showers.

Although most of us envision large steam rooms, steam showers can be as small as 3′ x 3′ x 7′. Mr. Steam isn’t just about steam either. By blending scent, light and sound, Mr. Steam offers a multi-sensory, high-end spa experience in your own home through chromatherapy (colored lights), aromatherapy (scented oils), and your choice of music (integrated music system). I know, you want one too. Check Mr. Steam’s requirements to see if it’s possible in your bathroom!

I’m loving all of Mr. Steam’s products, but iSteam is my hands down fave. It’s a next-generation control system and is stunningly simple. Providing the ease-of-use of an iPhone, the nearly flush-mounted control system allows users to adjust temperature, lighting, music, aromatherapy and duration with the swipe of a finger.  Available in timeless black or white, the iSteam turns an everyday shower into a sensory spa. I’ve included a short video for you to see this amazing product in action:


Have you fallen in love with the idea of a steam shower and turning your bathroom into a spa? I have.

Stay tuned, in the upcoming weeks I’ll be sharing exciting products from the other #BlogTourVegas sponsors – BlancoPoggenpohlSub-ZeroDektonTop KnobsWood-ModeFormica GroupWalker Zanger and TOTO USA!

Kitchens with Open Shelves

It’s a look that albeit isn’t for everyone, seems to be increasing in popularity: Kitchens with open shelves. Opening shelving in a kitchen will make the space seem larger and give an airy, uncluttered feel. It’s also a great way to display beautiful dishware. However, be mindful to select items that coordinate and to not overdo it – a jam-packed, cluttered shelf will only make the space feel smaller. If you are considering this look in your kitchen, I’ve pulled a variety of examples of  beautifully styled open shelves.

For an easy way to have open shelves in your existing kitchen is to simply remover the cabinet doors, fill in the holes where the hinges were and paint inside and out. The example below is a kitchen that I think did just that.

And speaking of kitchen design, I’m over the moon to be able to attend the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the Design & Construction Week with BlogTour, presented by Modenus.com. Both tradeshows will be happening in Las Vegas the week of February 2-6. Along with a team of 14 other designers and design bloggers from both Canada and the U.S., I’ll have the opportunity to spot the latest trends and discover the newest products – all of which I will share with you here and on twitter  using #BlogTourVegas!  I’m so excited! A huge thank you and shout out to the sponsors of  BlogTour Las Vegas: KBIS, Blanco, Poggenpohl, Sub-Zero, Dekton, Mr Steam, Top Knobs, Wood-Mode, Formica Group, Walker Zanger and TOTO USA for giving me the opportunity!

Happy decorating,

Cristin
