Mark your calendars! Drury Design is proud to once again sponsor the 2010 Glen Ellyn Kitchen Walk on October 1st. This year's walk will be better than ever, featuring eight kitchens, including our double award-winning kitchen designed by Tina Muller.

In the National Kitchen and Bath Association's 2010 competition, Tina's design was selected as one of the top three large kitchen designs in the nation. The top regional contender in Wolf Sub-Zero's Design Contest, Tina's design won out of over hundreds of entries. Described as "a small kitchen within a large kitchen" the crisp, white design replaced the homeowner's original French country kitchen and is a classic case study in the best of custom cabinetry and optimal efficiency, and the latest in cooking technology and refrigeration options.

Drury Design is also hosting the AfterWalk Gourmet Reception at our Drury Design Kitchen and Bath Studio, located at 512 N. Main Street in downtown Glen Ellyn. SubZero and Wolf Corporate Chef, Craig Bell, will present an early fall harvest flavors menu featuring burnt tomato crostini, spicy bacon brittle, pumpkin ravioli and herb and panko encrusted steak bites.

Tickets for the 2010 Glen Ellyn Kitchen Walk are $25.00 before, and $35.00 the day of. To purchase them, please visit our Drury Design Kitchen & Bath Studio, 512 N. Main Street or click to http://kitchenwalk.org. The Guided Kitchen Tours run from noon to 6pm and the Gourmet Reception Hours are from 5pm to 8pm.

The Glen Ellyn Kitchen Walk is Baird & Warner of Glen Ellyn's annual GoodWill Network project. The mission of the Baird & Warner GoodWill Network is to help the homeless and those in need in the communities in which we work and live. Since 2003, all Glen Ellyn Kitchen Walk ticket sales and silent auction proceeds have benefited Bridge Communities' mission to help transition families from homelessness to independence. Program partners assist in supporting nearly 100 homeless families annually in the Bridge Transitional Housing Program. One gift to Bridge Communities goes to work on six levels providing housing, mentoring, tutoring, employment counseling, career and financial planning assistance.
