Visiting a Kitchen Make-over

August 17, 2010

Yesterday, I traveled to The Home Depot in Norwalk, Connecticut to film a television segment about my new line of kitchens debuting at The Home Depot later this fall. I was met there by Nicole Sutliff, one of my publicists at The Susan Magrino Agency, and her husband, Trey. Nicole and Trey worked with The Home Depot to install one of these new kitchens in their home and after visiting The Home Depot, my crew and I went there to see it.

I am so excited about these new kitchens, including fine cabinetry, countertops, and hardware. For design inspiration, I looked to the kitchens in my own homes, as well as those of my colleagues. The result is a mix of door and glass designs, color palettes, and practical features in a wide range of styles, so you can create a look that you love at a price you can afford.
