Multitasking never tasted so good!

This is a great cohesive design for someone who enjoys having a TV in the kitchen. Follow along with a cooking show, catch up on the news, or keep the kids entertained for a few while you are finishing up cooking. This hood also has a DVD input and RCA Cable outlet with touch screen commands.

Tabrasa!

We wanted to share this fabulous product with you! It's whiteboard paint and it can be applied in numerous applications! Tabrasa by MDC Wallcoverings is paint that transforms any smooth surface into a seamless high-performance dry-erase writing surface. It has been used in education, healthcare, hospitality, corporate, retail, and government locations.
It is applied in the same way you would paint a wall but they recommend that you have a professional install tabrasa. Here are a few ideas for installation:



This paint is available in white as well as four new neutral colors. tabrasa™ complements any interior design while transforming any working environment into a collaborative space, increasing functionality, and evoking creativity and impromptu teamwork. Here are some highlights from MDC Wallcoverings:

Aesthetics & Style
tabrasa™ can create various shapes for dry-erase writing surfaces including: a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall writing surface; a strip in a hallway or around an entire room; a rectangle or variety of shapes scattered across a large wall; or a design element placed over a colored surface. No other dry-erase surface offers the aesthetic options of tabrasa™.

Environmental Sustainability
tabrasa™ is the most environmentally friendly dry-erase product available due to raw material utilization, energy and fossil fuel use and air quality impact.

As tabrasa™ is applied directly to the wall surface, it doesn't require wood, steel or resin typically used with other dry-erase products. It's also produced through a stirring process requiring very little energy compared to the baking and curing processes used by other dry-erase products.

Shipping tabrasa™ requires considerably less material and fossil fuel because a single quart of tabrasa™, is capable of covering 50 square feet of space, weighs less than four pounds and ships in a very small box.

tabrasa™ conforms to all U.S. EPA regulations (including California) and is formaldehyde-free and, once dry, produces no off-gassing.
