It is no secret that I love tile. I am very familiar with white or red clay body tile, and as in the case of Grove Brickworks, brown clay.  However, our new collection of tile, Magma, is created from the materials spilled from an erupting volcano. As its name suggests, Magma has a unique texture and chemistry; the body composition is a charcoal gray fine-grained lava mixed with other minerals.

In much the same way that the bath needs a once-a-year overhaul, the kitchen is usually in need of a similar tune up. As the seasons change, I feel like it’s the right time to suggest a few simple fixes with big impact in both design and function.

I love to start the New Year with a purge of closets, medicine cabinets, and when I have the energy, accumulated stuff from my cellar. So far, I’ve done the closet and there is a nice pile of clothing for Dress for Success, one of my favorite charities.

On my recent trip to San Francisco to celebrate the opening of our new Waterworks showroom, I decided to take a little extra time to visit SFMoMA and experience their new 10-story building and galleries designed by the international architecture firm of Snohetta.
