DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of the Pikes Peak Region Wins Dream Award for Residential Kitchen

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen has awarded its 2026 Dream Award for Residential Kitchens $50,000 to $100,000 to DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of the Pikes Peak Region for a kitchen remodel that opened up a closed-off space for better gathering, entertaining and everyday use.

The award was presented during DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen’s national Reunion, held June 9-12 at the historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. The annual event brings DreamMaker franchise owners together to learn, reconnect and recognize achievements across the franchise network.

Michael and Sarah Pinkerton accepted the award on behalf of the DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of the Pikes Peak team.

The winning project, titled “Opening Up Possibility,” converted a cramped, disconnected kitchen into a bright, functional space that enhances everyday living for a growing family.

The Pikes Peak team removed a load-bearing wall to create clearer sightlines between the kitchen and front living area. The new layout gives the family a more open central gathering space and makes it easier to move through the home.

Key upgrades included a central quartz island that extends into the living space and ceiling-height Light Mocha cabinetry for added storage. The team also worked through offset walls and faulty electrical wiring while respecting the homeowners’ budget by reusing existing flooring and trim.

“This remodel is a strong example of solving real-life design challenges with care and discipline,” said Doug Dwyer, President and CSO of DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.
