The Merillat Round Table: Where inspired living spaces come together
From Mark Ayers, Vice President of Marketing
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and online communities are the heart of the Internet and a great place to learn and share ideas. That’s why I’m excited to welcome you to our new blog, Merillat Round Table. We’ll be using this space to talk about the kitchen – the one room in the house that everyone can relate to.
We hope that by participating in our online community you can learn a little more about Merillat, great tips for kitchen design and the latest trends. But most of all, we want you to be inspired! On our side, we’re looking forward to hearing your kitchen stories so that we can continue to bring you products, ideas and insights to make your kitchen the best it can be.
One of our most recent “kitchen connections” was inspiring homeowners in our ‘Good Life’ video contest on Facebook. We produced a music video that showed one of our ideas about living the good life in a Merillat kitchen. The contest encouraged homeowners to create and share their own videos depicting what ‘The Good Life’ means to them. On July 28, 2009 we awarded the Driehorst family of Temperance, Mich., the grand prize $30,000 dream kitchen makeover. The Driehorsts’ winning video creatively showed what the ‘Good Life’ means to them … a kitchen that accommodates their busy family of six.
The Driehorst family recently embarked on their kitchen remodeling adventure at the Toledo, Ohio KSI Kitchen & Bath showroom where they met with designer Amy Wuest. We’ll be following their kitchen story in this blog. I hope you’ll check back with us often to see the Driehorsts’ kitchen makeover progress. Along the way you’ll hear some tips from kitchen design experts, get a glimpse behind the scenes of cabinet manufacturing, and of course, see the dramatic Before & After reveal.
Come back again, you won’t be disappointed!
