Look Who’s In Barbara Ballinger’s New Book – Morgante Wilson Architects Talks Kitchen Design

Kitchen Conversations: Sharing Secrets to Kitchen Design Success



When it comes to kitchen design, prolific real estate reporter Barbara Ballinger literally wrote the book. Having worked with Barbara on stories in outlets like Realtor Magazine, GlobeSt. and UNITS, it was no surprise to learn she was publishing a book (co-authored with Margaret Crane): “Kitchen Conversations: Sharing Secrets to Kitchen Design Success.” We were delighted when Barbara reached out about including photos and commentary from Taylor Johnson client Morgante Wilson Architects (MWA) – who has been a go-to design source for her for years. Now available for pre-order – just in time for the holidays! – the book is a wonderful collection of insights, tips and project photos from industry professionals, including this quote from MWA Partner Bob Zuber: “When it comes to a home, more than any other room, the kitchen can tell a story about the family that lives there. It’s not just the place to prepare the family meal – it can tell you about their shared values and their comforts. It’s a place to find refuge and a storehouse of memories.”
