More Awards for Divine Kitchens!

Mariette NARI 2007 Award

Marlborough and Shrewsbury kitchens win top honors
at NARI's Contractor of the Year Awards

When it rains, it pours and Divine Owner and Design Director Mariette Barsoum is pleased with the showers of praise her designs have gotten this fall. After garnering a kitchen design award from Signature Kitchens & Baths French Country Kitchenmagazine in October, Divine Kitchens wowed New England by winning two of the November annual Contractor of the Year (COTY) awards bestowed by the National Association of Remodeling Industries (NARI) in Boston.

Divine won first place in the "Kitchens Under $50K" category for a Shrewsbury project and another for "Kitchens $50-100K" for a lovely French country kitchen in MarlboroughCherry Kitchen

"This is a wonderful thrill, to be recognized for both types of design," said Barsoum. "It's exciting to move walls and relay an entire kitchen to realize someone's dream, but the Shrewsbury project shows a whole other tactic when you have a smaller budget and can make a big impact with creativity and materials. I am so gratified to have our efforts recognized in this way."

Sign Up for a Free Seminar in 2008!


The plan was to run one free seminar a month to introduce a small group of homeowners to the design/build process. With more than 90% of the guests attending the first seminar reporting that the information shared was valuable to them, the concept has been wildly successful. In fact, Divine had to add 4 seminars to the 2007 schedule and all were filled.

In 2008, by popular demand, Barsoum will also offer "What Will My Dream Bath Cost?" seminars. The schedule is already filling, so call  508-366-5670 today to save your space and start off the new year with a realistic look at what remodeling will entail in 2008.

"We are thrilled to have our work showcased in the first
2008 issue of Women's Day Kitchens & Baths," says Mariette Barsoum. "The project profiled is located in Northborough, MA and it is a great example of an old world traditional style kitchen.
