Willis Sponsors NKBA Puget Sound Chapter's "Student Design Competition"

On Friday, October 12th, the NKBA Puget Sound Chapter celebrated their 35th anniversary and, as such, hosted a spectacular gala event themed "70s, 80s, 90s & 2000s: Kitchen & Bath Trends over the Years". As a continuation of Willis' partnership with the Puget Sound Chapter, Willis once again sponsored and helped organize the Student Design Competition - "The Future of Kitchens and Baths" - which was incorporated into the evening's festivities.
 

The Student Design Competition saw each entrant create either a kitchen or bath themed "design board" centered around a particular color of Corian®. As with previous years, the design boards were, in short, very impressive and showcased the talent of these up-and-coming designers. According to Stephanie Stead, Willis' Residential Sales Rep for Washington, "These were some of the best design boards we have received to date. All of the students worked extremely hard at perfecting their designs." It was at the NKBA 35th Anniversary Party that these impressive design boards were displayed, and the winners of each design category were announced.

Thank you to all those who participated, and a big congratulation to our winners!
