Kitchen seen at San Francisco Decorator Showcase


San Francisco architect Jennifer Weiss designed this fresh, clean-lined kitchen which has been a focal point at this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase. We love that she used cabinet and drawer pulls similar in look to Tidal Pulls to give her design a very sophisticated and clean look and feel. Check out J. Weiss Designs for more of Jennifer's projects, especially the Russian Hill remodel. She has great "before" and "after" project pictures which showcase her design ability.

Outdoor Kitchens



At the KIBS show in Atlanta last week, we saw a wonderful line of custom built outdoor kitchen cabinetry at Atlantis Cabinetry. The cabinetry is made of an extremely durable polymer material, Perma Panel, which will not warp, crack or deteriorate over time and has been developed to be used outdoors. Everything in the cabinet is weather resistant and can be cleaned with a garden hose and a scrub brush, a nice feature to have during hurricane season.

We really like that Atlantis offers Teak and Cypress doors for their Perma Panel cabinets, giving these outdoor cabinets a more sophisticated look. Teak is known for its usage in boat building, cabinetry and marine applications, and teak and stainless steel are often found together in high humidity environments. The natural oils in Teak wood and the rust proof nature of Tidal Pulls makes a sensible combination for any outdoor kitchen.
