Almost Live from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Chicago

wood stoneIt’s Annalisa reporting from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Chicago and I’m looking forward to a great weekend learning about cool new trends and technology for the two most popular rooms in your home.

I spent most of the morning checking out the show floor, from Kohler’s mega-booth (more like showroom), which felt like a club with its blaring dance music, to Wood Stone’s booth, where they were baking fresh pizzas for convention-goers to sample.

I’ll be tweeting via @HGTVFrontDoor and posting updates on the blog periodically so follow along!
