Wow, what a wonderful kitchen!!! Beautiful updates all around!!

Not the same dog as in the original picture. We lost our Miles a few years ago now. We actually decided to go ahead and get a new puppy in the middle of the construction. We figured as long as everything was a mess why not. His big brother was not impressed at first.

In order to make the addition work the 2 existing bedrooms and guest bath were moved to the new space (along with a large walk in pantry). One of the original bedrooms and bathroom are now the dining room and bar area. The other bedroom is now the kitchen. The original kitchen became a mudroom/laundry. The original dining/entry is now a proper foyer.

You've done a fantastic job on your house! You should be very proud!

How gorgeous! Excellent choice of backsplash in your kitchen also.

We are really happy with how the backsplash turned out. They are hand made tile by Mercury Mosaics out of the Twin Cities. We tweaked some examples that we had seen and they worked with us to make our ideas a reality. Our tile guy, Darren, was able to get out of his typical perfect precision box to work with the handmade tiles and the random pattern that we wanted.

Wow, this is a beautifully done home!!! Not this trash modern garbage. That wood trim had to cost a pretty penny. Nice kitchen! Is it cherry? I'm jealous.

Thank you. It is quarter sawn red oak stained with cinnamon stain. The floor is quarter sawn and rift sawn white oak. The cabinetry was all designed and built by Broihahn Custom Woodworks. Flooring was done by Thompson Wood Floors.

I have similar trim woodwork. Maybe a little more intricate. I know how pricey it is cause my entry was all paneling with this garbage plastic edges. No trim. So when I drywalled it, I had to make trim that matched the rest of the house. It was like $900 just to trim the entry lol. I did it myself, with labor it would have cost way more. I also used wood from the scrap bin that I could use. Turned out beautiful.

Tony Montana - I really can't give you a good answer. We didn't shop around because we wanted Curt to do our woodwork and we were super pleased. Really, I just paid the bill which included all of the kitchen cabinets, hall linen closets, the big entry wardrobes, the bathroom vanity and upright cabinet, the bar upper and lower cabinets, the mudroom/laundry U shaped cabinetry, the bookcases, columns, beams, newel posts, the fireplace mantle, 14 doors, and all of the main floor trim/moulding. I know that he considered our project Very Large compared to a typical home. We were fortunate that we didn't have to meet a budget. I am only doing this once and we did it right and got what we wanted.

Very impressive. Beautiful work all around!

Beautiful work! The kitchen is stunning, love the backsplash!

Very nice!

What a transformation! The kitchen is beautiful and I love what you did with the fireplace in the living room.

Love it! Your kitchen is drool-worthy.

Got a chance to take a few photos of our guest bath. Again we carried our handmade tiles into this room with a band in the shower mixed with commercial subway tiles in the shower and hexi on the floor. Kohler shower pan and door with two individually controlled shower heads by Delta. The vanity woodwork matches the rest of the first floor cabinetry made by Curt Broihahn of Broihahn Custom Woodworks. We also have to highly recommend our solar tube. The light it provides in this windowless room is absolutely amazing. We wish we had a running tally for the number of times someone has tried to "turn off" the lights in the bathroom. We also love the fact that the solar tube is able to make the 16 foot run from the back roof to the bathroom in the front of the house.

I love the vanity and the shower. The floor is a little to busy for me though. I'm a hater for grout lines. But its still nice. I love the rest of it. It would be something I would do in my house. Im sure your guest will be very pleased.

Another thing I want to point out is look how much more elegant it looks with wood trim and not painted trash.

Gorgeous! Well done! It looks so genuinely original. Loving that bathroom, especially the floor and what a dramatic transformation the kitchen. We are trying to do the same feel in our 90s bi-level. This is definite inspiration!
