Brand New Display At The Lehigh Valley Showroom: Casual Chic!

See the Latest in Kitchen Design

Features "Cashmere" Painted Cabinetry, Heated Floor, Lighted Display and Floating Shelves

Love stainless steel appliances, painted cabinetry, and metallic surfaces? Check out our brand new "Casual Chic" kitchen display!

Set the mood with programmable lighting in the glass display cabinets flanking the stainless steel vent. Yes, you can change colors to match your mood! The light filters through the glass shelves, washing the wall in color. There's more shine in the glass tile in "Mocha" installed behind the vent hood. The stainless steel Whirlpool range features double ovens.

The Zodiac countertop in "Nutmeg" is repeated in the peninsula, which has an overhang for seating and a microwave drawer. The pantry wall features tons of shallow shelves - much easier to locate items in than deep shelves! The pantry wall has a lighted display niche with a mirrored back wall and floating shelves. Below the display niche is a clever feature: a pet feeding station. No longer will you trip over the dog's dishes. Cut-outs at baseboard height hold both water and food dishes, and the cabinet above can be used for pet food storage.

Uniting the whole space are floating shelves (no visible supports) of Formica laminate in "Natural Cane." The cabinetry is by Quality in Maple with a "Cashmere" painted finish. Under it all is a heated floor, covered in porcelain tile in "Metallica" finish. Think of the warmth! You can walk this floor in your socks in the depths of winter and still be cozy.

Stop by to see this brand new display and bring your friends - you'll see the very latest in kitchen design ideas at both the Lehigh Valley and Pocono Morris Black showrooms!

What Color is Your New Kitchen?

Color plays a major role in your kitchen design. Every aspect of your kitchen involves making a color choice – cabinets, counter top, backsplash, lighting fixtures, hardware, flooring, walls — and the list goes on. Its part of the process: color selections need to be made when you are designing a kitchen. Here’s your chance to choose the deep rich hues of cherry wood or the cool sophistication of natural maple, the cool grays and whites of a marble counter top or the endless colors of granite. Every choice enables you to add the stamp of your personality to the room. Think about what you like. When you are shopping for clothing do you gravitate toward neutrals or are you more apt to pick a colorful pattern?


There are pros and cons to each style when remodeling: Subtle choices are safe and flexible, but may lack overall pop and bore an extrovert. Bold choices are dramatic and fun, but can be risky and become dated in a short amount of time and may scare an introvert. Ask yourself: Am I remodeling for a potential resale or to please myself?

Nervous? Don’t worry. The designers at Morris Black have created bold vibrant kitchens and subtle soothing kitchens – we can guide you through the color choices. We can make suggestions, or let you decide – we’re here to help! We also have tools that can help you visualize what the colors will look like in a room design. Our latest showroom toy is a computer generated system that lets you choose the door style, finish, hardware, countertops, wall color and flooring – then saves and prints the results. What fun!

No matter your choice, you can feel good about it knowing that it reflects your own unique style! Decide what works for best for you and let’s get started!
