Guest post announcement

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We are very excited to announce that Majje, who writes the fantastic interior design blog,  Advanced Kitchen Design, will be doing a guest post on our blog in the next couple of weeks.

She is the first person to do this and we hope that more people will be interested in becoming guest bloggers on The Kitchenista.

Her blog contains a wealth of kitchen design tips and ideas and is a site we regularly read. She writes a very frank and honest blog – check out what she had to say about Magnet in this post. It was a review of our new ranges and the sale, highlighting how the recent 20% off offer was unique and the first time it has been done.

Here is a little bit more about her…

Majjie is Marion John’s rather opinionated online alter ego. She came into being when the new Advanced Kitchen Design website was set up in 2009 … Marion is an independent kitchen designer based in Nottingham. She set up her business, Advanced Kitchen Design, four and a half years ago, and works directly for individual clients designing whatever sort of kitchen they require. Prior to becoming a freelance designer, she had ten years of experience in the kitchen market, working for a number of quite different kitchen suppliers.

So, with such a wealth of experience, we are looking forward to reading what she has to say on ‘the modern fitted kitchen’
