K/BIS April 2008

I will be headed to my hometown of Chicago, on April 11th, for the annual K/BIS event that showcases the latest products and most innovative design ideas in the kitchen and bath industry. This captivating event features the largest array of product displays and demonstrations, professional development courses, keynote & session speeches, interactive roundtable events and the opportunity to network with thousands of industry professionals.
I am always excited to see new products, and use this opportunity to get the creative juices going for spring and summer projects coming our way.

Stay tuned for my report on K/BIS when I return!

Building your Dream Home..right here in Michigan

These pictures were taken by my clients, who built their new home, in Huntington Woods. They were a complete pleasure to work with and the end results with their home and cabinetry turned out so chic.

We used "Medallion" cabinetry in the kitchen; perimeter in a Maple door, Brookhill style in their classic paint finish of White Chocolate. For their Island, we chose the matching Brookhill door in a stained Gingersnap finish. Turned out beautiful, and once they complete their backsplash selections..it will be even more unique to their home.

The selections made for their Master Bath, and Guest Bath were in "Quality Cabinets"

Master: Quincy Cherry in the Cider stain with Licorice glazing, for a spa like retreat with a masculine deep cherry tone.

Guest Bath: Sussex door in Bisque, a soft creamy off white perfect to blend with any decor.

Cabinetry designs by Kristen Shellenbarger, of Midwest Cabinet & Counter, Inc.

I am new at constructing this 'blog' so hang in there! I am putting up some photos of projects from the past, and will be updating soon. Being a cabinetry designer since 2001, I have had the privilege to meet many wonderful clients who add to my inspiration. The more challenging the project in space, the more creative I tend to be. Here are some that turned out just beautifully, with many more to come!

I intend to use this blog as a sight into the world of cabinetry design. We at Midwest Cabinet & Counter, Inc. are here to build the dreams that our clients envision, (well at least their cabinetry dreams!)
If you live in our area, please contact us!

Please enjoy!
