2013 dreams of a Valcucine kitchen after visiting the Soho showroom

Happy New Year
and Kitchen Dreaming for 2013

a couple weeks ago you may have read my "holiday romp" post when a few of us design bloggers got together for a great cause to help Hurricane Sandy victims.  We dined at the Soho Mondrian, and shopped through the neighborhood, and tweeted along the way, then enjoyed a fun cocktail party in a cool, hip kitchen showroom downtown NYC.  Veronika Miller of Modenus set it up with design industry sponsors, and about 20 bloggers came together!
Valcucine hosted a festive cocktail party for us in their Soho showroom, and this got me dreaming of a clean-lined kitchen with large proportions.

At Valcucine, there are lots of kitchens on display with various aesthetics and state of the art technology utilizing "green" concepts and incorporating European old world craftsmanship.  There's something for everyone, but all with a futuristic, modern bent.
I like the showroom and company's philosophy:
“A conscious use of materials, from the point of view of sustainability, not just the production process but also of the product itself, is fundamental. Respect for the environment is the common denominator that underlies all the projects of Valcucine.”
I'm hoping maybe a new client will want one of these 
beautiful kitchens for their home in 2013 - 
a girl's gotta dream!

Happy New Year 2013
 Happy Nesting XO
