a few from dusseldorf

about a month ago i went to dusseldorf, germany to meet with an amazing bath + kitchen fixture company called grohe.  this was my first ever trip to germany and definitely won't be my last! germany agrees with me :) 

here are a few from dusseldorf:

 skyline + rhine

 some ghery.

cool floating restauraunt + footbridge

a view from the top of that pointy thing in the first photo :)

number 2: you can see my hotel in this one and media harbour

hyatt regency, i highly recommend!

nice breakfast to start the day...

pretty branch sconce in the ballroom

  pretty baroque Schloss Benrath

 ahh fresh veggie market!

 flowers too!

and alas, some time for shopping on the Kö (Königsallee)

color me clean

i am never one to shy away from color, and just recently i was in Dusseldorf, Germany (reviewing bathroom fixtures for the project i am working on) and happened upon these little gems in the Grohe showroom:

Grohe has been adding color to people's bathrooms for a couple of years now, and they just keeps adding colors (they just released an earthtone range as well) and bonus: they have a handy plus/minus button for water conservation.  pretty + smart = love 

i find myself telling people that i'm not a "pink" person quite often, but for some reason my actions have been to the contrary lately, and i brought home a pink one... 

you know good design when you see it, you know because every time you see it you can't help but smile :)
