There are a lot of things we are loving right now, but we could only pick two.

Miele isn't new to the washer and dryer game. They have been perfecting their washer and dryers for years. Like their kitchen appliances, they are continuously adding new technologies. Miele does it different, and there is a list of features to prove it. Their machine has features like; detergent dispensing components, a water protection system, a honeycomb drum for the gentlest of washes, an enameled front, last but not least they are clean and energy efficient. The list of features in this machine goes on, but the most impressive to us is that Miele has been taking responsibility for our environment for almost 120 years. Read more about their impressive features by checking out their website.

Pantone Color
It comes around every year, changing the design game. It sets mood boards across the world incorporating it into everything, but to some, it's a complete mystery to what it is. So, let's talk about it.

The Facts
...color matters
|
Pantone, as it is today, was founded in 1962 when the company – at the time a small business which manufactured color cards for cosmetics companies - was bought by Lawrence Herbert. He almost immediately changed its direction, developing the first color matching system in 1963 calling it, you guessed it, The Pantone color matching system. This system is used by designers and printers all over the world today.
|
|
The 2019 color of the year is chosen for its "animating and life-affirming" hue which energizes and enlivens with a softer edge. Any guesses as to what it may be? This this year's color evokes the beauty and fragility of our marine life and oceans. It's a little reminder that coral, which is brights and lively, is only possible if a healthy environment surrounds it. The year 2018 brought about many efforts to clean up the ocean and make more conscious decisions about the waste that we produce. If you haven't googled "Pantone color of the year" by now, check out our blog to see which color was selected this year.

TORY H.
TILE & FLOORING ASSOCIATE
SUN VALLEY, ID
|
Tory joined the Earth Elements Sun Valley team as a Sales Manager in May 2017. One of her favorite things within her role is learning about new technology and products being offered in the interior finishes industry. While not working, you can find Tory camping in the summer and skiing in the winter, with a little fishing mixed in year round. No matter the time of year, her adventures are always accompanied with her husband Jack, and two dogs Charlie and Otis. She has a weak spot for traveling to see live music, especially in unexplored or historic venues. If Tory had to pick a spirit animal it would be an antelope. Why? Because they symbolize high energy and communication, not to mention their beauty.
