KREAMER, Pa. — In early 2024, Wood-Mode, the leader in fine custom cabinetry, launched a new tool for its network of 600 independent dealers across North America – the Inspirational Project Portal. Allowing dealers to easily share their best and most beautiful projects showcasing Wood-Mode cabinetry, the launch was accompanied by an invitation for dealers to submit projects for the Wood-Mode 2024 Design Awards.
After receiving more than 130 submissions representing the best in kitchen and bath design, a grand prize winner was selected along with first, second and third-place winners in three categories: Kitchens, Baths and Other Spaces. Additionally, 21 entries received Honorable Mentions.
