INTERIOR DESIGNER ANITA GALATTE WINS CRYSTAL CHOICE AWARD

Interior Designer Anita Galatte of Artspiring and Design Quartet at Ravinia (DQ@R) has won a 2015 Crystal Choice Award for a recently completed laundry room design for a home in Park Ridge, Illinois. Galatte, who works out of the Design Quartet at Ravinia showroom, has been designing kitchens, bathrooms and offices using Crystal Cabinets for 18 years. The laundry room was her first submission for the award.

Chosen from dozens of entries, the laundry room that Galatte designed will be featured on Crystal Cabinets’ website, social media and upcoming new company brochures. “I listened to all of the needs of the client and came up with a design that made the space both functional and beautiful,” says Galatte “The design continued the look of the home’s décor right into the laundry room, which is often overlooked even though is one of the most used spaces in a home. It was an honor to be recognized with the Crystal Choice Award.”

Design Quartet at Ravinia, where Galatte is a partner, features Crystal Cabinets in their showroom because of the quality and outstanding workmanship that the company has prided itself on since its origin in 1947. Crystal Cabinets are completely customizable with over 85 door styles, 52 stain and paint colors, 15 wood species and dozens of types of crown molding that allow designers the ability to create spectacular and unique home spaces that will last a lifetime. Crystal Cabinets is still owned and operated by the founding family and offers a lifetime product guarantee. The company employs over 410 people and, on average, produces 1500 cabinets per week. All cabinets are built to order and made in the USA.

“We loved seeing our Current cabinet line used in other rooms besides the kitchen or bathroom,“ says Sandy Neirengarten, Creative Design Coordinator at Crystal Cabinet Works. “Anita was able to use our budget friendly line to create a lovely laundry room that is not only beautiful but has functioning and practical details that make it a great design.”

Galatte, as with all Design Quartet at Ravinia Designers, likes to meet with clients both in their homes and in the DQ@R showroom. The home meetings allow Anita to get to know the clients’ personal taste and understand how they use space in their homes. The showroom meetings allow her to show the huge breadth of variety available in the Crystal Cabinet line, as well the lines of tile, hardware and flooring that are carried in the DQ@R showroom.
