Large Kitchen Category - "White-Washed Sleek"
2010 – National Kitchen & Bath Association "Art of the Industry" Design Competition
By moving the eating area to the adjacent sunroom, the designer was able to give this large kitchen a wine bar and two beautiful cabinets that house wine refrigeration and a pewter collection. A previously unused corner became a family desk, while another wall is now home to a coffee bar, microwave drawer, icemaker, and a large walnut hutch containing the refrigerator. A large arched window allows light, while also providing a graceful line to soften the crossed-paned panels of the cabinets on either side. The large Calcutta marble-topped island offers generous space for entertaining and casual family dining. Limestone flooring in shades of charcoal, tan, and gold bring an earthy and pleasingly imperfect color quality that offers a comfortable contrast to the hues of white.

2008
Showroom - Second Place Honors
National Kitchen & Bath Association "Art of the Industry"
This showroom display was designed with creativity, attention to detail and product flexibility. A working bar was also needed in our showroom for hosting frequent open houses and fundraisers.
The bar layout creatively displays how to receive a great deal of function from a small space. There is a 36-inch high work area adjacent to a 30-inch high commercial stainless steel bar unit with an ice chest containing bottle holders and condiment trays. A raised 42-inch bar sandwiched between two raised areas comfortably seats two people. The heavily paneled soffit, tin ceiling and antique light fixtures give the area a cozy English Pub feel.
The attention to detail is evident in the use of moldings and trim pieces. Exposed corners have decorative ovolo edges. The wood mullions used on the glass doors and repeated on the solid wood doors were a design created just for this display.
The main countertop is silver cloud granite with an integrated soapstone apron sink. The bar ledge and footrest are both made of a dark soapstone. The upper cabinet tops are made of wood that match the cabinets. The refrigerator is built in behind antique glass doors with the wood mullion detail applied.
