What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
We believe that most of the time, the integrated Thermador refrigerator and freezer, which are clad with panels to resemble a classic Hoosier cabinet, are one of the first things in this kitchen to grab ones eye.
However, the integrated Nexus 21 TV lift which travels up, out of the kitchen island, tends to grab your attention as it raises up and turns on​.

List any items that were outsourced.
None

How has being a member of the CMA benefited you and/or your business?
