Their posts come from a wide range of perspectives that include sociology, marketing, research, psychology, environmental, customer experience, and user-experience design. Initiated in 2006 with nine bloggers, this year's event runs from October 28 to November 2, during National Kitchen and Bath Month.Stephanie Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02116304523866425794noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465329241577099418.post-40273737058526279342007-10-28T20:21:00.000-07:002007-10-28T18:21:44.087-07:00<a href="http://curiousshopper.blogspot.com/2007/10/where-it-counts.html">Where it counts</a><br />Folks, it's that time of year again.

It’s completely new…new construction, new fixtures, and as a result…new habits. I have to say, the master bath has “wow” factor. I also have to say that it’s very clear that it was designed with a total disregard of efficiency and usability. And yet, I love it.
