Timberland

It's getting colder out there, and Timberland's Thermal Force is out to keep your toes toasty. The steel toe of the Thermal Force boot is coated with a ceramic-based material to add a layer of insulation. In both the steel and non-steel toe versions, Aerogel nano-technology is applied for warmth.

Cambria

Cambria has added six new colors to its palette of stain-resistant, nonporous quartz surfaces in the Desert Collection and another six to the company's Quarry Collection. The company also added 20 colors to its 1-centimeter products for walls, showers and fireplace surrounds.

Toto

Effective flushing and water conservation aren't always good bedfellows. The Eco UltraMax by Toto reconciles the two with the company's 1.28 gallon-per-flush E-Max flushing system, which uses 20 percent less than standard toilets. Unlike pressure-assist or dual flush options, the UltraMax is gravity-fed and uses a regular trip lever.

Danze

Translated as "Beautiful Flower," the Bellefleur faucet collection from Danze has an organic-shaped base in both kitchen and convenience sink faucets.

Timberlake

A new finish added to Timberlake's repertoire is cognac, now available in the company's Portfolio Select series, which includes the Sierra Vista, Rushmore and Wyoming styles. Made specifically for maple cabinets, the finish leaves a furniture-like look to complement the rest of the home's décor.

Armstrong Cabinets

Looking after the kids at home can drive caregivers nuts, especially if they have a meal to cook. At least homeowners can keep an eye on the tots with the KidZone cabinets from Armstrong. The cabinets stand 36 inches tall and offer child-friendly storage spots, an adjustable pull-out activity table and chrome wire bins for toys and games.

Plain & Fancy

Calling their latest cabinetry line "a mix of uptown elegance blended with a relaxed rural feel," Plain & Fancy's Town & Country kitchen cabinets feature a mix-and-match style for creating something between a rustic brownstone and an urban farmhouse.

Aristokraft

White kitchen cabinets are still in high demand, and Aristokraft's Durham offers homeowners the timeless look they're after.
