Clare Marie Kronemeyer, AKBD
VP Communication/Technology

At our October Chapter meeting in the bulthaup Showroom I met Valerie Borden of Chimera Interior Design for the first time. She was excited as she discussed a contemporary kitchen that she had designed. Please click on Featured Designer to get more details.

As part of the design community we are proud to be able to feature designers and their work.

bulthaup Showroom — October Chapter Meeting

NKBA wishes to extend its appreciation to Robert Morric, Architect/Manager of bulthaup Showroom for the well-organized and very informative presentation he gave at our October meeting.

For those who may have missed it — you missed a well-developed power point presentation outlining the path that the early kitchens have traveled, taking them through the backrooms of the Victorian era and into the modern day concept of the Great Room and its lofty applications.

So, a special thank you to Robert and to the bulthaup Showroom staff for being a gracious host and for providing us with invaluable information.
