NKBA Design Competition

Hello everyone! It has been a little while since we posted, but needless to say you will be excited about the upcoming posts!

We love this time of year, not only for the beautiful California summer weather, but for the NKBA Design Competition that is held each year.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association hosts a design competition exclusive to NKBA members. Each designer submits a completed project with, photos, a design statement, and elevations and a floor plan. This year we submitted two completed kitchen projects. The Revitalized Retro Kitchen is a combination of reclaimed and reused materials and the Modern Seaside Kitchen combines gourmet with entertaining. In the next couple days you'll be able to tour both!

Let's take a peek back to last year's 2014 NKBA Design Competition entry, the New Mountain Style Home Kitchen, which you can also find here.

We entered this open space kitchen in both the before and after category and the medium size kitchen category (150-350 sq. ft.). Take a look.

All new stainless steel appliances were installed.
 
 
A free standing island with granite countertop and

Raised butcher block countertop. Perfect for serving
appetizers to family & guests.
 
 
New hard wood floors to go with the
New Mountain Style color palette.
 
 
The stacked stone pillar and wall add texture and a rustic feel to the space.
 
 
Built in outlets were installed for easy laptop use around the island.
 
 
Counter seating includes interaction with the cook, plus ample
storage space.
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed the New Mountain Style Kitchen photos. Visit us tomorrow for the Revitalized Retro Kitchen.
