Merillat Cabinetry and Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford Partner for Dream Kitchen Makeover Contest

ADRIAN, Mich., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners can enter to win the kitchen of their dreams as Merillat and the nationally-syndicated television show Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford are partnering for the 'Today's Dream Kitchen Contest.' Participants can enter online at DannyLipford.com now until July 25, 2010, and have the opportunity to win a complete kitchen makeover including cabinets from Merillat, countertops, flooring and appliances.

The theme of the contest is focused on function, and homeowners will be asked to enter a photo of their non-functional kitchen and to write a short essay explaining why they deserve a new kitchen full of Merillat's functional storage accessories.

"We've done extensive research on consumers and how they relate to the kitchen, and one thing we've learned - storage is key," said Susan Dountas, Merillat Brand Director. "We know more than 50 percent of homeowners who have remodeled their kitchens wished they had included more storage features. This is why we're excited to offer this contest, because the key to a functional kitchen is a well-organized kitchen and with a few storage accessories and some insightful design tips that's easy to achieve."

The kitchen remodel, including the addition of storage accessories, will be featured on an episode of Today's Homeowner, so homeowners from all over the country can learn how to make their own kitchens more functional. The grand prize winner will be chosen based on a number of criteria including appropriateness to theme and creativity. The winner will be announced at the end of August.
