Welcome back we hear them saying – finally Ashley has something to do when he first wakes up!! We hope you all had a terrific Xmas and celebrated the opening of 2014 in style.
2013 saw the start of The Kitchen and Bathroom Blog with 231 posts and nearly 16,000 views – this year we will bring you more of the best, the funny, the quirky, the different and the requested from Australia and around the world – remember if you come across a story you’d like to share email the details to thekitchenandbathroomblog@gmail.com and we will always consider it.
To start 2014, Cosmit (the organisation that hosts Eurocucina, The International Bathroom Exhibition etc) has announced something new for this year’s show. “Where Architects Live” is an original idea, inspired by leading contemporary architects’ own concepts of the domestic space. It will be virtual progression through the buildings in which the architects themselves live, illustrating just what is involved in designing homes for the most demanding people of all − themselves − with the freedom to experiment with visions and language.
The curator of the event/installation, Francesca Molteni – who curated “Design Dance” with Michela Marelli (2012) and “A Celestial Bathroom” (2010) – has been privy to the private homes of some of the greatest exponents of the architectural world, filming the exteriors and domestic spaces and recording an interview with each of them on the triggers, inspiration and choices that have shaped their design and professional careers. 
“The aim of the event”, continued Mr. Luti, “is to explore the art of living today, with a close look at the people who are changing the face of our cities, the configuration of the global landscape and the collective imagination, putting the spotlight on new ways of planning domestic environments from every possible aspect. This is the fundamental mission of the Salone del Mobile, cultural concepts that drive the sector.”
