Publisher’s letter
HELLO
Pages 39-49
When a person makes something they've accomplished look easy, you know they are truly good at what they do. Have you ever thought "If he/ she can do that, I'm sure I can too!" After trying, you had to ask yourself later "What was I thinking?" Or better yet, someone tells you that they watched you do something, tried it themselves and they failed miserably?
The real perk of working in the publishing industry is we are constantly interacting with smart people. They've put the time in their area of expertise and are true masters at what they do. These smart people are our clients. They make things look easy, their projects turn out flawless and they are humble. How do they manage to bring it all together? It takes vision, talent, teamwork, highly developed organizational skills and the flexibility of an easy going and confident personality to face any foreseeable problem to attain this level of success.
It's always fun to see the design teams and homeowners mixing it up too. You'll see a mixing of finishes, metals and reclaimed wood throughout this issue! Anything goes is their mantra, along with a big dose of finesse and talent required to pull it all together.
Check out the award-winning 2023 Kitchens of the Year (pages 39-49), and imagine the thrill of preparing a meal in one of these breathtaking spaces!
Publishing a magazine in the design sector is nothing short of amazing, and the staff here at St. Louis Homes + Lifestyles are honored to continue to share with you, our readership, the best of the best in the years to come! Thank you for this opportunity.
Cheers and Happy New Year!
