'Originally from the Italian word natura, which means “natural”, Florida Tile’s Natura is exactly that. A modern interpretation of one of the most natural building blocks of civilization, wood. Organic in its wood grain, but thoroughly contemporary in its colorful design palate, Natura is the perfect marriage. This evolution of a wood has brought a true commercial vehicle that will perform technically and aesthetically in any environment.

'For a number of years, Thomas Jayne and Richmond Ellis have organized an unusual Thanksgiving celebration in Central Park. A gathering of friends, now about 50, assemble at the Pilgrim statue in the park to lay a wreath of corn. They read a description of the first Thanksgiving written by Edward Winslow in 1621. This coming together celebrates our collective bounty and remembers the sacrifices made by so many that have allowed us to be so blessed.

'If you’re considering a kitchen makeover, now is the time to browse through home and garden magazines to pinpoint the types of designs you like. That way, you have something to present to a custom kitchen designer, who can make your vision a reality. The designer can help you realize what parts of your plan are feasible, explain what needs to be adjusted, and even inspire you with fresh ideas you hadn’t thought of before!

'Marazzi has introduced CITTA, a new line with an expansive color spectrum that ranges from the quietest of neutrals to very vibrant primaries, setting the stage for all-out personalized interior walls. The streamlined narrow rectangle shape immediately attracts attention as a wallscape material that is outside the norm. Architect and design professionals will relish this exciting new format that is such a welcome deviation from smaller, mundane wall tile sizes and shapes.

'With Thanksgiving imminent, any and all open surfaces will be pressed into use, for service as well as prep tasks. The Chariot trolley can stylishly roll from kitchen to tableside [perhaps making a detour to the bar.]. Bands of silicon edge the wheels, protecting floors and ensuring a silent passage. The transporting design is offered in white, natural oak, and red—my pick. casamania.it.

'And so the countdown to Thanksgiving begins in earnest. On Thursday, few kitchens—mine included—will look as clean and organized as this one, with its spotless counters and spare composition of open storage. I was surprised learn these cabinets are made of bamboo, a material which I aesthetically [but not in principle] eschew; the grain is too monotonous for my taste.
