BlogTour NYC Sponsor | Jenn- Air

In one month we will have a new King in the Netherlands and the whole country will turn into Orange. Orange being the color and the last name of our Royal family! When visiting the exhibit of Luxury appliance maker Jenn-Air, who's one our Blogtour sponsors, I thought about on how to write this blogpost and doing something with the sparkling color they used in their booth.
This.... until I noticed and got a little demonstration, of the the new ventilation system. A stainless steel hood elegantly rising from the countertop when cooking begins and retracting back into the countertop to maintain open sight lines when not in use. Thought that is much more interesting to show you then me talking about the color of the Jenn-Air booth! On their website you will find all information about this latest design in ventilation: 36" Accolade™ Downdraft Ventilation System
I tried to film the hood coming out and back in but I guess I kept my IPhone in the wrong position.... so yeah have a look at it if you want to see how it works or watch the professional video on the Jenn-air site. Here is a link to mine: Jenn-air video
This years exhibit showed the complete collection of Jenn-Air appliances, including the industry’s best performing wall ovens, top-rated built-in refrigerators and high-performance dishwashers. Jenn-Air® appliances are known for their sophisticated styling, innovative technology and exceptional performance. All designed to help you create a beautiful kitchen and take your cooking and entertaining to impressive new levels.

Blogtour NYC | Day 2 | At the AD Home Design Show

Hope you enjoyed reading my former post about Day 1 and on what we did in New York during Blogtour! At day 2 we were up early already and after a good breakfast on our way to the AD Home Design show. Starting at ten with the annual Mary's and Mimosas event where we met and mingled with the NYC design Media. This networking event, was originally started in 2011 by Veronika of Modenus who had this idea of bringing interior design bloggers she knew together with the Media and designers. Today it is a must-attend event for the New York Design scene.
Later on after lots of coffee's and a first look on what ADHD show was about we got to have a look at DIFFA Dining by Design tabletop ideas. Barry Dixon of Arteriors gave us a little tour and we had look at all the table settings. If you are into table settings you would have loved this and I had to think of some of you other bloggers seeing this! Here is a small impression of things that caught my eye!
The table setting on top is an Inspiration Statement: Beauty represented by the image is distorted by voids representing HIV/AIDS. The void in the tableware is for everyone to remember what needs to be done. Images below are of the table setting of the New York school of Interior Design. Mentor : Marc Blackwell
We spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the show and I will show you some more of my favorites in another post later!
Loved The Miele USA Booth and not only because they were one of the sponsors of Blogtour! Even the fruit and food in the huge fridges was styled and the hanging garden was pretty amazing!
Table setting by Marimekko
No black Paola Navone dots on the paper lamp but black circles for a change - Clarcksdale openwork screen by Barry Dickson for Arteriors
After a long day we were still chatting, writing and enjoying ourselves.... As Tim said we are a fun bunch to have around! We headed home in some taxi's that were waiting for us ... Thank you Modenus for not having to queue up in that long line of tired people ... we ended the evening close to the Hotel in a Hamburger dining with, for me, a delicious Vega Burger.

The Next Big Thing

Flamingos have have always been a part of the preppy, Lilly, Palm Beach Chic look, but now they are popping up everywhere. I predict flamingos will be the next "big thing." I love flamingo art and love the way it mixes with Chinoiserie. I am including a great piece I found on Etsy in my gallery wall for my office makeover. Here is inspiration on how to get the look and my favorites with sources and links and it is all very budget friendly.

Blogtour Sponsor | Silestone by Cosentino | Blogger Macarena Gea

Countertop Silestone natural quartz in "Unsui" with Suede finish
Silestone by Consentino is one of the next Blogtour NYC sponsors I would like to introduce to you. Not only are they sponsering Blogtour |read about our Media breakfast here| they also have chosen a blogger to be one of the five faces in the new Silestone campagne for 2013! How cool is that!
Macarena Gea is one of Spain’s most influential bloggers on fashion and architecture. One of the ads features her in a workplace that mixes cool and vintage elements and where Silestone’s® Unsui colored elegant countertop with Suede finish is perfectly integrated thanks to its top quality design and versatility. And even incorporates a Silestone Integrity® DEUX kitchen sink.
Being a blogger myself, I thought lets ask Macarena about her experience on being selected and shooting the Silestone campaign!!
Silestone choose you as their face of the 2013 campaign, how did they get in touch with you and why do you think they asked you?
When Silestone called me I even didn't believe this could be true. It's one of the most famous Spanish companies and I have lived (and worked) among Silestone pieces for many many years. So it was a big surprise and a huge honor they chose me as their 2013 campaign face.

Can you tell us something more about your blog, do you blog full time?
I am a Spanish architect & interior designer and I blog on Macarenagea.com since 2007 It is where I share with my readers a daily dose of inspiration about things I love the most: fashion, deco, weddings...
I am not a full time blogger since "in my real life" I also work as architect and wedding planner but blogging is another of my huge passions and I think it would be really hard living without it.

What do you think of Silestone products and do you, or would you, use them in your own home?
I am a big Silestone fan and i'm used to introduce their products in my projects but also in my own home. I like its huge range of colours and textures also as its usefulness & hygiene.
The loft in the ad campaign is not my own home since the shooting was due to take place in Barcelona and I live in Valencia. Nevertheless, the art directors based the set in my own personal style in order to transmit in the most real way my day to day life. I think that the result was just perfect. When I first saw the whole set I said: "It definitely looks like my own house!"
How did the photoshoot go, was it your first photoshoot?
As fashion & lifestyle blogger, I am quite used to photoshoots but I had never worked before in such a big campaign like this one for Silestone and it was a big responsibility for me. At the beginning I was a little bit nervous but all the Silestone team was so so kind and professional and they made everything so easy. I really enjoyed the experience!
What is your favorite product from Silestone / did you get a tour through the company showroom?
Due to my job, I already knew Silestone products but thanks to this collaboration I had the chance to know much more about the brand. I've always liked the classic Silestone polished quartz surfaces but, lately, I am in love with the "suede" collection and its soft and natural touch. It's cool to have plenty of possibilities in order to choose the ones that really fit in each project. It's the best way to see how the ideas in my mind become true.

These are the pieces I have so far for my planned gallery wall in my home office -
A vintage Vera scarf from eBay - arrived.
A nude sketch from Furbish - arrived.
An abstract by artist Kerry Steele
A 24K gold and pink flamingo from Etsy - arrived.
I have decided to play around with a DIY project on the framing. Here is the gallery wall below that I did for my kitchen One Room Challenge. I used a mix of unframed canvases, ready made frames, and custom frames and love the result. I smile every time I look at it and yes, I love pink!
