Greetings From The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show 2018 (KBIS)

Hey Guys,

This is going to be a super quick blog post. I’m still at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Orlando Florida.

I was intending to get this out last night but am too busy having a great time with my friends and colleagues and enjoying the balmy weather.

Last night there was a big shindig thrown by Thermador. This is how the room looked when we went in.

Can’t explain how exquisite this was! It was a little like the inside of one of their beautiful dishwashers (images from last year’s show) only about a million times more intense!

I’m having issues downloading photos for some reason. The party was exquisite.

And we were treated to the fabulous music of One Republic – LIVE! Plus the food was extraordinary.

If you’d like to see our entire itinerary please check out fellow Design Hounds‘ Blog Tour member Sheri Bruneau’s gorgeous schedule that she laid out. Gosh, I wish I could be that organized!

This morning, I was supremely honored to be on a panel discussion with interior designer and color expert Maria Killam, social media and business coach, Leslie Carothers and moderated by interior designer, coach and video expert Claire Jefford.

I’ve been spending a lot of time with Maria and she is just as delightful and down-to-earth as she is on her blog. I’ve looked up to her for so many years and can’t believe that I’m sitting next to her on a panel!

The discussion was about what it takes to have a successful blog; one that earns revenue, plus the different ways of making money.

Alas, I am going home tomorrow evening and just as I wrote that, got a push notification about my flight! How funny!!!

And now for your surprise.

Below is the final board for the Laurel Home Paint Color/Palette Collection Bonus Boards. This is the 12th and final bonus board.

The collection owners will get this again in a few days along with the usual three or four page companion info along with a bonus palette of 12 colors.

For the final board, I chose Benjamin Moore White Dove. I did it in honor of the recent post about white paint.

For those of you who don’t know about my products,  including the paint product and Laurel’s Rolodex, and would like to learn more please click here.

Well, I feel a little guilty for not writing more of a post, but not so guilty that I’m going to give up having a lovely dinner with my friends. I love these women! They are the kindest, most supportive, generous warmest people on earth.

Very blessed!

Of course, there will be more about the show coming shortly!
