This gorgeous “New Traditional” kitchen by Normandy Designer Laura Barber earned a design award from Kitchen and Bath Design News Magazine!

Transforming a dated Western Springs kitchen into a modern, stylish family hub, Laura’s clever redesign ditched a restrictive two-tiered island and unused desk for a sleek, streamlined layout featuring a 48-inch range and a dedicated entertainment bar.

The refresh delivers effortless luxury, blending soft blue-gray cabinetry and a warm walnut island with breathtaking natural quartzite countertops and a full-height backsplash.

Chic details like gold mesh inserts, antique mirrors, and mixed metals create a casually elegant vibe, resulting in a timeless dream kitchen built for both busy family mornings and sophisticated entertaining.

The KDBN judges agree this kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks. Congratulations to our customers and to Laura on the recognition for this amazing kitchen design!
