We used to display new products at The Bayside Expo Center when they had a Home Show, then we remodeled our showroom to show functional, working kitchens. We then hired some chefs to demonstrate the products capabilities, and The Yale Home Show was born. 

What you should expect is to see the newest products from the best manufacturers working and on display. Over the years, with the introduction of steam, induction, pro and smart app driven appliances, the home show has become a great way to plan your project.

February is always a decent time to consider buying a major appliance as well, because of President's Day rebates. 

Let's see whats new for 2016.

First, half of the company is new in Framingham, opened in July. We have Thermador, Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Jenn-Air and Miele kitchens are all new and working.

Lighting sets the mood in a room. Think about it. Many items are very similar, but lighting has hundreds of different choices. It gives you a chance to personalize your home and distinguish from the others.

These two brands have emerged as the best choices for innovative lighting.

Native Trails Concrete Apron Front Sinks

Most people had the sink as an under mount. Others buy the traditional white farmhouse kitchen sink. For the bold, try concrete apron front sinks in three finishes (slate, ash, and pearl). 

Final Thoughts

We tried to make appliance and lighting shopping fun. There will be plenty of good food, cooking tips and new appliances as well as lighting. 

You can also see a pink range (in Framingham showroom soon) so you can cross that off your bucket list.
