Shaw Floors is the flooring sponsor forHouse Beautifulmagazine's fourth annual “Kitchen of the Year,” which will feature Shaw’s Grand Canyon hardwood flooring. Tyler Florence, Food Network host andHouse Beautifulcontributing editor, is designing this year’s 1,000 sq. ft. kitchen in the heart of Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The Kitchen of the Year will be open to the public July 18-22.

Using post-industrial wood byproducts, Grand Canyon is hand-scraped and distressed by individual craftsmen. The color chosen for the kitchen is Bright Angel. “We believe Grand Canyon, with its welcoming charm and traditional look, is a perfect choice for Tyler’s vision,” said Kathy Young, Shaw’s director of marketing.

 This year’s Kitchen of the Year will be held in conjunction with “Tastes of Summer,” an outdoor food festival that features samples from Rockefeller Center’s most popular restaurants. Tyler Florence will be available at free events throughout the week to give fans an opportunity to meet him. There will also be daily cooking demonstrations, tastings, kitchen tours and more. Additional information about the Kitchen of the Year will be made available on the House Beautiful website,www.housebeautiful.com/KOTY.

Other Kitchen of the Year partners include KitchenAid, KraftMaid Cabinetry, Kohler, Restoration Hardware and others.
