Kitchens by Eileen History

The talent behind Kitchens by Eileen evolved from a growing love for art and design and was recognized in 1972 when Eileen Riddle graduated from duCret School of Art. While raising a family in New York, Eileen answered an ad for an artist to sketch kitchen and bath designs at a local cabinet shop. Thus began her love for space planning and design. She went on to study and acquire her CKD (Certified Kitchen Designer) Certification in 1995.

In 2009 Eileen took a leap of faith and decided to take the opportunity to become an independent designer. “I love to cook and entertain, so I know how frustrating it can be to not have the right tools at your fingertips when you need them.” With one assistant, Eileen opened the doors to Kitchens by Eileen in downtown Lititz.

With rapid success and growing recognition, Eileen’s son Aaron joined the business in 2012, expanding vision of KBE. Seven years later, Eileen took a much deserved retirement leaving the business in his hands. Today, Aaron and his team of amazing designers continue the KBE legacy of beautiful design and superior craftsmanship.
