Grothouse would like to congratulate Peter Cardamone and Lynne Kaltman of Blue Bell Kitchens for winning Thermador’s National Kitchen Design Challenge in the Traditional/Transitional category! Their designs are always equally beautiful and functional.

Peter Cardamone and Lynne Kaltman of Blue Bell Kitchens designed this beautiful kitchen and won the Thermador’s National Kitchen Design Challenge in the Traditional/Transitional category. The space included a Grothouse Walnut Butcher Block.
Their kitchen entry was from a Wyomissing, Pennsylvania residence. Together the two created an open and inviting space to be the center of the home. The kitchen showcases Thermador appliances and rustic elements mixed in with transitional cabinetry to complement the existing natural tones from the kitchen’s field stone fireplace.
The Custom Random Mix Walnut Butcher Block was crafted to be 2 ½ inches thick with a ¼ inch Chamfer Edge Profile. Sealed with Grothouse Original Oil™, the Walnut Butcher Block is the perfect food preparation area, home for the KitchenAid mixer and de rigueur for a chef’s kitchen.
