Mick De Guilio, Designer of 2012 Kitchen of theYear.

This years House Beautiful 2012 Kitchen of the year is designed by Mick De Guilio. Since I have been concentrating on kitchens the past few weeks, and the timing is perfect for viewing the 2012 Kitchen of the Year. It will be open July 16th to the 20th at Rockefeller Plaza and I am sure it will be something worth visiting! The kitchen itself is in a Pavilion with lots of natural light, surrounded by windows. I cant wait to see how Mick incorporates his 11 things a kitchen must have! According to Mick De Guilio all kitchens must have the following:

1. Natural Light
2. Comfort
3. Visual Texture
4. Stainless steel
5. Island-a great sink
6. Integrated Refrigeration
7. High performance appliance
8. A Hook- something that pulls you in!
9. Kitchen designer
10. A great sink
11. Ice cream

Here are a few examples of Mick's designs to get us ready for the big reveal! Enjoy!
