——— wat e r d e s i g n s o u r l i f e ——— Who designs for Water?
Looking at this issue that our team created, I was left with the question of what shapes our taste and style. Is it our surroundings, both natural and architecturally designed spaces, or the people around us that serve as our influencers? Today’s design world offers endless inspiration with technology in sites and apps such as Houzz or Instagram offering accounts solely devoted to images of tile or whatever your heart desires. Those embarking on a home remodel or new construction have no shortage of portfolios of ideas to match any keyword. Through the pages of GPS Living, we are offering one more source of inspiration presenting more tastemakers, both local and celebrity alike. Three of our own design consultants, Alyssa Baratz, Heather DePhillips and Lori Sacca-Crooks, demonstrate their design love and showcase the importance of visiting a local showroom as your best source for trusted products. GPS is now up to 12 showrooms, including our newest GPS showroom in Flemington, NJ and our 2 nd Kohler Signature Store in Eatontown, NJ (right on Route 35 across from Fort Monmouth). The new Kohler Store features the newest additions to the Kohler Konnect offering, a full offering of Ann Sacks tile and the brand-new to the market Kohler Lighting line. But as far as influencers go, we feature the followings and collaborations of such national design celebrities as Michael Voltaggio, Becki Owens and Jeremiah Brent (page 38). The tastes of these designers shape the finishes, color and even technology that we incorporate into the spaces in which we spend most of our daily lives: bathrooms and kitchens. These rooms have also been some of the last rooms to include any sort of technology upgrades. This is all about to change with eco- friendly water heaters and garbage disposals (page 26) and the Kohler Konnect line featured in the flipside of this issue. Change is coming—you just have to look around and listen to those who influence your style.
Throughout history, water has shaped the world we live in - where we gather, what we do on the weekends and what rooms we make room for. So it’s about time we recognize all water does for us, and give it the attention it deserves. moen.com
