​KRD's "Saint Anthony Modern Kitchen" wins the 2016 National Chrysalis Award
June 15, 2016

​KRD has just been awarded 1st place in the 2016 National Chrysalis Awards in the "Kitchens under $75,000" category. This is a such a great honor for us.  We had wonderful clients who shared our vision from start to finish and an amazing group of artisans who put it all together.  We've been fortunate to visit this space many times since construction wrapped and it never fails to put a smile on our faces.  Most importantly, our clients absolutely love it!
