What the kitchen means to me?
The kitchen is the “heart of the home.” No matter how often we try to move the party to the family room or the living room, everyone wants to stay in the kitchen! The kitchen is the place in our home where we express our love through sharing wonderful food and wine with family and friends. No matter how big or small a kitchen is, we're drawn to the warmth of the oven, the delicious aromas of bread baking, or the anticipation of soup simmering on the stove. It is our joy at Westwood to be a part of making your kitchen an extra special place for you and your family!
I have spent my life in kitchens, literally and figuratively! My Dad, Nick Grasa, founded Westwood nearly 50 years ago and I continue to work with my family today! I have spent my life and career surrounded by beautiful kitchens at Westwood and also in our home! There is nowhere that I would rather be. Today, it is a privilege to be leading the business and continuing to work with Westwood’s incredible team. We work together to make dream kitchens a reality for our customers.
I am often asked “Why kitchens?”. My answer: How wonderful to spend my career working with people as they plan, design and have their dreams realized in a new kitchen! For many families, a beautiful kitchen is something that they have hoped for and dreamed of for many years. To be a part of this with our customers is a privilege. Over the years, I have met and been a part of this process for many wonderful customers who have become friends. In many cases, I have worked with families numerous times through their life journey as they build or renovate different homes and then continue to work with their children as they grow into their own homes. Our tagline “It’s Our Kitchen Too” reflects our passion. At Westwood, we all bring this dedication to the kitchen we are building for your family. It is our joy and honour to be a part of your stories. Thank you for letting us share this with you!
