Carol Harker of Mastercraft Kitchens in Whitianga has recently entered
several of their kitchens in the “Kitchen of the Year” awards for the
National Kitchen and Bathroom Association – NZ. “I am entering four
of our kitchens,” she said, “one each from Cooks Beach and Whitianga
and two from Tairua.” It is their first time entering a nationwide design
competition for this designer and partner, Tony Wilson, production manager.
THEIR KITCHENS ARE A TEAM EFFORT
Carol says the kitchens they have chosen to enter are not just the work
of Mastercraft: they have been created by cooperative effort. Many
talented local craftsmen have had input into these beautiful kitchens, all
members of a local thriving building trade. “It’s like a Coromandel ‘team
effort’, and I hope that we win – because then we ALL win! And that
creates a better ‘word of mouth’ for all of us in the trade”.
KEEPING UP...ONLINE AND AT THE CONVENTION
She also noted that their website has been updated with a ‘rollover’
feature to view before-and-after photos of their kitchen renovation
projects. “Customers are being inspired by seeing what their kitchen can
be. They also show a variety of price ranges that fit all budgets”.
As for the competition, they will learn the results when they attend the
NKBA convention in Auckland in mid-August. “Hope we score a win, but
we for sure we will come back all inspired with great new products, looks
and fresh ideas!” Take a look:
The Mastercraft
website now offers a
rollover ‘Before/After’
feature to showcase
their kitchen
renovations.
