What’s On Tap at Designer Bath




On January 22nd, we opened up our Beverly showroom after-hours to host our first What’s On Tap Showroom Sampler event. The format for the evening consisted of six different stations manned with representatives from a number of the quality brands that we offer. Each rep came prepared to share new prototypes and product information with an audience consisting of design/build professionals.


Air injection technology delivers invigorating high-performance showers.

Faucets are the true jewelry of the bath with many unique styles to choose from.

A sense of humour comes in handy when selling toilets that come with directions.

Guests were divided into small groups and spent 10 minutes at each station. The coordinator for the nights event, Designer Bath and Salem Plumbing Supply sales consultant Beezee Honan, designed the evening as both an educational and networking opportunity, “Many people came up to me to let me know that they thought they knew a lot about our product lines, but they learned something new at every station. That was great to hear, because everyone is busy and if they come to one of our events, we want it to be worth their time.

“Doing the rotation worked out great ... the reps did a good job and we learned a lot about the products, more so than if we just wandered around on our own. The food and drink were nice, too. The events at Designer Bath are really top notch all the way around.” – designer, Katherine Hawkins

The chosen one ...





We love sharing our beautiful products with others, especially the media! When Courtney Kasianowicz from Design New England magazine called to borrow a sink from our showroom collection to photograph for an upcoming kitchen and bath issue, we were more than happy to say yes! When she stopped by our Beverly showroom in December, she was inspired to take with her not just one but three vessel sinks that she and art director Jenna Talbot thought were magazine-worthy.

We can tell the team enjoyed showing off the gorgeous natural finishes and staging these beauties for their Selections story.

“Truth be told, it was a challenge for us to choose just one sink to feature ... we experimented with three stunning vessel varieties, pairing them with beach stones and forest moss ... a nod to all the beautiful natural materials we are seeing in today’s hottest bathroom designs.







Come by and see them for yourself! Act quick, and you could take home this one, a travertine lovely from RA Magnus, at a specially reduced showroom sale price of just $299 (yes, it is the actual one photographed for Design New England).

The Selections article also features several vanity vignettes by New England based interior designers. As one states, A beautiful sink makes all the difference. Read the article here.

Thanks, Design New England, for including us!
