If you’re an avid reader of KFL you’ll remember my visit, last March, to the Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York.  An edgy website by the name of  Modenus*  had a little contest in which you could win a spot on one of their world famous blog tours.  Naturally I had to go all out, no holds barred!  The challenge was to take a creative photo of one of the designated sponsors.

Planking for Modenus at last year’s Architectural Digest Home Design Show! The hammock is called Kokoon by Royal Botania and the planking platform is Motley Drum by Wild Spirit.

Whoever garnered the most votes won the spot.  Sadly, it was not I but I did have fun trying and I’m pleased to say I finally have my chance to participate in a Modenus adventure!  I will be traveling to the Big Easy with a very select group of design and lifestyle bloggers.   We will get an insider’s view of  Nola Style, visiting design showrooms, shops and KBIS.

The theme for this year’s show is evolution and how our kitchens and baths are transforming with the advent of new products and design philosophies.

These are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beignet">beignets</a> and I think they have my name on them, maybe underneath that powdered sugar?

Yes, this year the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is being held in New Orleans so I will be there to cover it all.  All the magic will be happening from April 16-20, four very busy days.  And because I believe in paying it forward (at least a little) I will be offering you, my precious reader peeps an opportunity to win a little something-something.   Details to follow…
