CliqStudios announces Connecticut homeowner David Bienashski’s dramatic kitchen transformation has won first place in the company’s Kitchen Showdown Makeover contest. In a tight race after online voting by CliqStudio Facebook followers, 10 kitchen entries featuring CliqStudio cabinets advanced to the final round. A panel of industry experts selected Bienashski’s kitchen as the winner, along with two runners up, based on three criteria: design, functionality and overall transformation. Bienashski, a contractor, completed his kitchen makeover as part of a whole-home remodeling project that included CliqStudios cabinetry in the kitchen, baths, bar and pool/entertainment area. Working online with Sammi Lindemann, a CliqStudios designer, Bienashski expanded the kitchen footprint, moving walls and adding windows to open the space and bring in natural light. The new layout improves the traffic flow from the kitchen to the living space and pool area. To create extra storage while keeping with the clean Shaker-style lines, the design called for extra deep upper cabinets to be recessed into the wall, concealing an additional four inches of functional space. The result is hidden storage inside the sleek appearance of a standard depth cabinet. Bienashski chose CliqStudio’s Dayton Painted White door style for his kitchen.

BlueStar Grand Prize Winner Jaclyn Christensen, IDF Studio Location: San Francisco, CA Project Name: Pierce Street The client was just starting a new chapter in her life and moving from the East Bay to a railroad flat in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood. She wanted a home that reflects her fun, youthful personality. This client loves the color pink and all things related to animals and the color palette is decidedly feminine throughout the home. For the kitchen we gave it a pop of her favorite teal color and paired it with walls full of Carrara marble. My goal was to have the kitchen not only reflect her personality but also give it a fresh, bright and high-style look that will look good for years to come.

Caroline Smith, owner of Caroline V. Smith Interiors in Memphis, TN, is the Grand Prize Winner of BlueStar's 2019 Kitchen Design Contest. Her sophisticated and classic design that features brass accents throughout blends classic elegance with high performance for a family of four that loves to cook and entertain. Caroline selected white cabinets with a dark blue island to create a perfect balance with the BlueStar appliances that the customer specified not only for their performance, but also for their customization options. Both the 36” Platinum Series Rangetop and Double Electric Wall Oven with Drop Down Doors feature antique brass trim and Grey Blue (RAL 5008) paint and knobs to tie into the colors of the kitchen. The room echoes the client’s color preferences in the gold veins of the trims and the brass faucets. Brass accents also brighten the navy and white pairing and add a modern richness throughout the kitchen creating the perfect example of the harmony of these three colors.

Inspiration for a transitional kitchen remodel in San Francisco

BlueStar Regional Winner Wendy Berry, W Design Location: Chagrin Falls, OH Project Name: Turn of the Century We wanted to make a statement in this kitchen renovation and knew that the 60” RNB Series Range with 12” Griddle in jet black (RNB608GV2) would be a total showstopper. The challenge in this project was merging the husband’s traditional style with the wife’s modern taste. This kitchen is a bridge between the two aesthetics. The transitional shaker style white cabinetry on the perimeter and white pearl quartzite slab nods towards the classic feel. Juxtaposed with the modern influences of the black iron accents and polished brass hardware, the kitchen is the perfect marriage of opposing styles. The subtle gray glass herringbone backsplash makes for an understated backdrop that allows the BlueStar Range to really shine. The custom black hood with brass perimeter detailing brings out the gold knobs in the BlueStar range for some added drama.
