Divine Kitchens broke out of the kitchen design category, winning both Gold and Silver Awards for bath design at the 2008 Contractor of the Year (COTY) Awards sponsored by the local chapter of the National Association of Remodeling Industries (NARI). Divine won two kitchen design awards at the same event last year.NARI Gold winner 2008

"It's wonderful to be known for our design expertise in both kitchens and baths now," said Divine owner Mariette Barsoum, who heads the team for this full-service design/build firm. "We have really focused on letting the public know that our knowledge and experience doesn't stop at kitchens. This is a great way to celebrate that message."

The bath that won Gold, located in Sutton, MA, is a sleek modern design with a combination of dark wood, glass, exotic tile and stainless steel. The Silver winner, located in Hopkinton, MA, is highlighted by a large glass-walled shower combined with rich traditional woods andNARI Silver winner 2008 subtle cream tile combinations.

What about that Small Bath?
Imagine one sure, turn-key price for remodeling your guest bath! That's right, we've launched the Divine Small Bath Program, which offers three distinct design levels for the smaller bath in the home, typically used by children or guests. Due to our industry relationships and proprietary installation system, these projects can be completed in just three weeks!

"There are a lot of small hallway baths out there," said Divine's Mariette Barsoum. "While they typically don't have the same space as you find in a master bath, they are actually used more often by guests, so homeowners want them to be functional and attractive. Our three design levels are each offered at a stated price and can be delivered in three weeks, making them very attractive to homeowners who want more of a designer look, but want to have a comfort level with cost and delivery before they undertake a bath renovation."

You can select from our Divine Basic Bath, Divine Comfort Bath or Divine Elegance Bath, each of which comes with certain features you may want to include in colors and styles that will fit a variety of tastes. This program puts you in the driver's seat with the assurance that you will enjoy a completely installed bath within three weeks for the quoted price. We'll be happy to walk through the samples with you and explain the program fully.

Two Free Monthly Seminars Usher in 2009

Homeowners will be more closely scrutinizing their investments in 2009, including the way they do home remodeling. Since Divine has believed since its opening four years ago that design and installation has to be done with intelligence, creativity and great integrity, the company will increase its free informational seminars in 2009 to help homeowners understand the process more fully. More than 90% of the homeowners who availed themselves of a free Divine seminar in 2008 have reported that the information shared was "very helpful." In 2009, Mariette will offer seminars on remodeling both kitchens and baths at Divine's Westborough showroom. The schedule is as follows:
