The award, which was for the design of a uniquely New England kitchen on Cape Cod, was presented by Signature Kitchens & Baths Magazine as part of the SEN Design Group National Conference.

 
"I am thrilled to be recognized for my design talents," said Barsoum, "but the real reward comes when clients tell me they are enjoying their new space." Barsoum, a certified kitchen

Home Entertaining is Often About the Space



As the leaves start to turn, so do our entertaining habits. While we're squeezing in the last few outdoor barbeques, we're starting to think of hosting friends and families for indoor cocktail parties, dinners and holiday celebrations. The space in which you entertain can set the tone and create an environment..so let it be all you imagine.Kornbliet wet bar

While our name says "Kitchens," Divine is often called in to create media centers, wet bars and entertainment spaces that maximize storage while creating a warm, inviting feeling in your home. "We can make a difference," says Divine Owner Mariette Barsoum, "anywhere you can put a cabinet door or drawer."

"Creating the wet bar or media center your partner has dreamed of can be a wonderful holiday gift," she continues. "We can work with you to create illustrated plans that can be wrapped as gift or (depending on the Lapsley Entertainment Unitstart date), we can create something to be installed for the holidays so the gift recipient can actually use this wonderful gift before the end of the year."
