I spent the day yesterday at the annual Kitchen & Bath Industry show in Chicago, checking out the booths, looking for the newest and best to share with you. This year's show was more compact than usual, with a very strong focus on the bathroom, but there was plenty worth a snap and a social media share. Here are the highlights from my day — get ready for the toilets and tiles!
Here are some of my favorite finds from the day:

Why do you continue to make it impossible to match pictures with links? It's really annoying.
I love the faucet coming right out of the mirror. which link is that one?
I second Tanya's comment. Trying to find the Chevron tile and even after getting to the tile company's website, I STILL am having trouble finding it. JUST LINK THE DAMN THINGS ALREADY!
@m@thew: do you mean the Geometric Tile by Daniel Ogassian for Ann Sacks? although, yeah, it can be kind of hard to find things on this site sometimes. (big ups from back in the day, though; it's like a thousand times better.)
that is one fugly marble sink.
i'm still waiting for some kindhearted company with a guilt complex for not doing enough to help those poor katrina victims to come remodel my tiny bathroom.
: )
^ *GASP!* which marble sink is fugly? (there are 2)
Happy to see the top picks. KBIS was pretty dismal this year. It seems to be getting smaller and smaller every year.
Los LINKS! Los LINKS!
