KBB - October 2013 - (Page 6)
EDITOR’S NOTE
Universal Magazine –
Topics for Everyone
My father bought a car for me 12 years
ago, and I am still driving it today. I live by
the tenet that if something is that expensive
and already paid for, I am going to drive it
into the ground before I buy another one.
And while I still love my 2001 Honda CRV and
can’t imagine being without it, I have to be
reasonable and think about a replacement
soon.
But what if my dad wanted to fund my
next kitchen or bathroom renovation? What
if he wanted to make design decisions on my behalf? What is a designer
to do in this delicate situation, and who signs on the dotted line? We
delve into this topic in our Industry Viewpoint column in this issue, as it
seems to be a heightening trend in the industry.
Ironically, we also talk in depth in this issue about universal design,
which can include design considerations for aging parents. What if the
role is ever reversed, and I need to help my dad out as he gets older and
things become harder for him to access in his kitchen or bathroom?
I’d like to think that since I am working at becoming an expert of all
things kitchen and bath, I can return the favor for him if the time comes
and help him plan his functional and attractive universal space.
Something else I’d like to focus on is that as K+BB’s readership is
made up of a variety of industry professionals – designers, dealers and
distributors, architects, builders and fabricators – our goal is to build
content for all interested parties.
First, we are building an Editorial Advisory Board with representatives
from each sector, and we have introduced some of those players on our
masthead next to this letter. Through their experience and ideas, we will
develop useful topics that cater to all interests.
While we have always featured relevant and attractive kitchen
and bath design projects, we will also be including dealer/distributor
showroom projects moving forward. We introduce our Dealer Dish
column in this issue on the subject of showrooming, which I alluded to in
the last letter, but what I didn’t say is that because it was of such interest
to our readers, we had two writers submit articles on the topic. One is in
this issue, and the other – “Showrooming: How to do your best to avoid
it” – you can read on our blog at http://kbbcollective.kbbonline.com.
For our fabricator/cabinet shop readership, our Trends column
this month focuses on kitchen cabinetry, and industry experts discuss
cabinetry on a budget and in small spaces, as well as what’s new in
universal design and storage elements.
We’re also paying attention to your request for topics you’d like to see
more of in the magazine, including more green building information,
kitchen and bath news from different parts of the world, business tips,
price information on products and transitional kitchen and bath designs.
K+BB is paying attention to what you need from us, and we want you
to be the first to know. n
