Inspirations From The Mart!

This weekend we took a trip to the merchandise mart in Chicago. So I decided to blog about my experiences and which showrooms I was intrigued by this trip!

Here is the Chicago Merchandise Mart! Big enough that it has its very own zip code!!

Here are a few showrooms in the mart I really enjoyed on this trip! Check them out below!

DE GIULIO KITCHENS

(showroom.com)
"Today, De Giulio designs custom residential and commercial kitchens worldwide, and is recognized internationally for melding classical influences into a modern idiom." De Giulio Profile
I really enjoyed seeing the innovations in this showroom. Some of my favorite things include the use of marble on many surfaces, the tall cabinets with a transparent glass insert, the beautiful cabinet lighting, and the hidden refrigerator. This was one of the most interesting things I saw at the mart this trip, I absolutely loved seeing the creativity in these spaces.
 KOHLER

To those of you that think Kohler is just another store with bathroom fixtures, think again! This showroom was incredible. The amount of products and new innovations Kohler has in their showroom was outstanding. The sizes of these showrooms are great! What I really enjoyed in the Kohler showroom was looking at all the little bathroom areas they set up. Truly inspiring to see the possibilities!
SUB ZERO & WOLF
This show room was truly one of a kind. From custom hardware, to undercabinet wine coolers, to outdoor kitchens, to a chef's kitchen area, all of these things are covered and shown in this incredible showroom. This particular kitchen had beautiful glass countertops, and was titled the "wave kitchen," because of all of the curves on the products and finishes. The fabulous finishes and hardware were what really made this space over the top.
Check out the other showrooms at the Mart as well, so much information and inspirations to be had!
