Take a New Look at Wilsonart

Take a new look at Wilsonart - you will be surprised! If you know the name Wilsonart, you might think of laminate countertops - like what you had in your first apartment or in an older home. Not anymore. This is the beauty of making the investment to visit industry shows like KBIS (the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show). While on our Modenus Blogtour to Vegas, we spent a good bit of time with our friends at Wilsonart and boy did we learn a lot!

One of my favorite products was the Wilsonart chalkboard and marker board laminate. Think about the applications for this - a kitchen wall, arts & crafts room, a classroom or daycare, a restaurant or conference room. This product comes in 4'x8' sheets and requires very little maintenance.

Wilsonart is still known for their laminate surfaces - made stronger and more durable than ever with their AEON performance technology.  However, this isn't the laminate you have in your memory bank. Check out some of my favorites.

Think about laminating a kitchen or tv wall with this Antique Wood laminate.

I love the Blooming Grove design - so great for a happy laundry room or kids bathroom.

How about the Coffee Beans in a matte finish for the backsplash of a coffee bar?

As we saw in person, the options are endless and SO MUCH FUN.

If the laminate option doesn't appeal to you, check out the Quartz designs sold by Wilsonart. They look fantastic mixed with an interesting laminate.

I love the Mehndi semi translucent quartz - a mix of taupe and creme with gold veining.

If you saw our article in The Atlanta Journal Constitution, you know that brass is back. Imagine the Mehndi quartz paired with this Visual Comfort natural brass lighting by Alexa Hampton in a bathroom. Divine.

The bottom line is this - think outside the box and be creative. Wilsonart can help you make it happen. I had so much much fun looking at the Wilsonart Pinterest boards for inspiration. The folks at community furniture.com made it happen. So can you!
