Grand Opening - WE MADE IT!!!!

Let's just say that I saw more than just a few "deer in the headlights" expressions on people's faces as they walked through our front doors to what many might describe as total chaos only 24, no 12, who are we kidding....2 hours before our grand opening celebration on Thursday evening.  I am fairly certain that the words "have faith' came out of my mouth during the 12 hour span before our 6pm grand opening deadline more than ever before.  To give those...shall we call them "hopeful skeptics" credit, this was a VERY aggressive timeline and many had not experienced the dedication and determination that comes along with a "cherry picked" team.  This showroom, this entire design and construction team in fact, is the perfect example of the "sum being greater than its parts."  Each team member has been searching for the best way to combine their talents to achieve something magical, something that we can share with our clients, something that will allow each of us to continue to grow and learn, and something that we can all have fun doing.  Based on this experience and the excitement from Thursday night, I'm positive that we've found it.  

Thank you all for attending our Grand Opening and for supporting our friends at Louie's Kids.  Also, a special thank you to Chef Nico Romo from Fish Restaurant for breaking in our new kitchen, to Wolf and Sub-Zero for their amazing support, and for Baker Motors for making sure we all had the opportunity to arrive in style!   

Don't be a stranger....you're welcome in our kitchen any time!  

PS....more photos coming soon!  (Don't worry...no blackmail photos - for now)  ;-)

Tonight: King Street Kitchen Company Grand Opening Celebration!

Tonight King Street Kitchen Company Celebrates its Grand Opening at 543 King Street in Charleston's Upper King Design District.  Either stroll down King Street or park in the Charleston Visitors Center Parking Deck.  Shuttle to our showroom in style, courtesy of Baker Motor Co., and take either a Maserati, Porsche, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, or the new Smart Car.  Whether shuttling to our celebration or strolling down King Street, stop by at anytime from six o'clock until nine o'clock this evening and enjoy the party!

Our Grand Opening will not only be a celebration of great design, but also a locally operated national charity–Louie's Kids, a non-profit that helps treat childhood obesity nationwide.  Just like Louie's Kids does through education and fitness programs, we hope to influence healthy lifestyles by creating cooking and living environments that our clients love to live in.  

Please join us for this celebration, see our new showcases, and learn about King Street Kitchen Company kitchens for your home.  You'll see favorite products that we've used in past projects, vintage materials being reintroduced as unique design solutions, and totally new products making their debut in the work of kitchen design.  Come meet our designers, enjoy the part, and help us thank Louie's Kids for all of their positive influence in our society.

King Street Kitchen Company is located at 543 King Street in the Upper King Design District.  Parking is available at the Charleston Visitors Center between John and Ann, and shuttles will be provided by Baker Motor Company of Charleston.  We can't wait to see you there!

Grand Opening

Wow, we could have never imagined such a wonderful response at the Design Walk on Thursday evening.  I have been told that we had somewhere in the range of 750 - 1000 people visit the showroom!  Unbelievable!  Thank you all for coming out to show your support.  

We met some wonderful people and had a lot of great questions about KSKC & the selections showcased in our kitchen.  Some of these selections are favorite products that we've used in past projects, some are vintage materials being reintroduced as unique design solutions, and some are totally new products making their debut in the world of kitchen design.  Although it was a nail-biting experience to unveil the marriage of so many unique products at one time, we couldn't be happier with the results.  

Continuing the trend of exciting events, our November 13th Grand Opening will not only be a celebration of great design, it will also be a celebration for a locally operated organization, Louie's Kids, that helps treat childhood obesity nationwide.  Childhood obesity is an epidemic with startling statistics in our country that it is only getting worse and is a major contributor to many often avoidable illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.  Just like Louie's Kids does through education and fitness programs, we hope to influence healthy lifestyles by creating cooking and living environments that our clients love to be in.  Please join us for this celebration and help us thank Louie's Kids for all of their positive influence in our society.
