What a year 2020 has been… A lot has changed since we’ve been in your homes with our Fall 2019 issue of GPS Living. This year has been one that has forced families and households to re-evaluate their priorities. Whether that be out of necessity or just from a change of perspective. While daily life for many in New Jersey has returned to a greater sense of normalcy, we are in a new reality. Even with a return to the workplace for some, families are spending significantly more time at their homes. Over the last 3+ months, many have reconsidered or been forced to address how they use their spaces as the home has taken on a different function. With life altered, our homes are being examined through a new lens. Kitchens may be classrooms once again this coming fall and whether it’s replacing all of your cabinetry or just a dated faucet or pendant lighting, you will see inspiration on the pages to follow. This includes some of trends in the decorative plumbing and lighting categories, from black and gold (page 11) to wood and stone (page 15). Our pages will showcase new projects like the Kips Bay Palm Beach Showhouse and the ASPIRE Bernardsville Showhouse offering you a glimpse into designer spaces that can serve as inspiration for your home. Cleanliness and sanitization will be paramount going forward as the way we operate outside and inside the home has evolved. Our showroom consultants (highlighted on pages 29 and on the Kohler side, page 8) are adept at merging the form and function of your home as you move forward with the next iteration of home design. As an essential business, General Plumbing Supply has been operating to serve our customers since the beginning of the pandemic. With our doors re-opening in mid-May to customer traffic, we have been encouraging customers to make showroom appointments to ensure that customers can be accommodated at their desired time. Our doors are also open for walk-in traffic, as long as we have a consultant available at that time and we have not hit our capacity limit (due to COVID). We have a complete set of safety protocols for GPS employees and customers that provide a safe environment to work on your next kitchen or bath project. Here’s wishing for a safe and healthy remainder of 2020.
