A Karen Black Company Owner Celebrates 26th Year As Interior Designer In Oklahoma City

June 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Karen Black C.K.D., Interior Designer has been nominated for the National Kitchen & Bath Hall of Fame.
Karen, of Oklahoma City based A Karen Black Company developed novel cabinets based on years of experience.  Handcrafted Cabinetry by Karen Black debuted in October 2009.  The International Kitchen & Bath Industry Show held at the McCormick Place in Chicago IL.  Karen was honored April 16, 2010 with a NKBA First Place Design Competition Award.  Handcrafted Cabinetry by Karen Black in Leather  was selected to win the First Place in Showroom Display.At every niche and surface, this sleek and hip showroom display shines with cutting-edge innovation, such as cabinetry in alligator grain embossed black leather. The space also brilliantly conveys its downplayed identity as a sleek bar, rather than an obvious kitchen. Some other cool features include a dishwasher concealed behind an integrated leather double drawer panel, an electric cooktop tucked under a portion of the walnut countertop, and a sink hidden from sight with a removable section of countertop. Then there’s the flip-down television, which is positioned neatly under an upper shelf with a DVD player and the controls accessible above. A waterfall streaming down a polished slab of granite into a pool of blue glass chips completes this stunning display.
