Painted cream cabinets, diamond shaped backsplash tile, two stunning complimenting granite pieces and brass accents are just the start of the beautiful design elements in this kitchen remodel. This new kitchen design matches the charm and character of this older home. As a hub to several rooms of the home - entry hall way, garage entry, laundry space and back yard entry, formal living room, dining room and family room - ease of traffic flow was important. Meeting the functional needs of an entertaining family, a homeowner who truly cooks AND desire for a polished look that will last long into the future all comes together. Kitchen and dining spaces now compliment one another and beg you to sit and enjoy mornings with a great cup of coffee. Original layout included a peninsula jutting out from a non-cabinet wall, dividing the kitchen from the dining space. A half bath had been oddly added with the outer wall bumping into kitchen and creating a narrow and useless corner.

This project features an intelligently shaped trapezoidal pool, perfect for fitting seamlessly into a narrow backyard while retaining a sophisticated feel. The pool's inviting blue tile interior is beautifully contrasted by expansive, light-toned natural stone paving, which defines the generous lounging area. The visual focal point is the raised water feature wall, which is elegantly clad in shimmering teal mosaic tile and topped with coordinating light coping. A singular, bold sheer descent waterfall cascades into the pool, introducing a soothing auditory element and continuous shimmer. The entire sanctuary is framed by lush, mature landscaping that overflows with vibrant greenery and colorful flowers, creating a tropical, secluded atmosphere. The space is completed by contemporary, curved white loungers, offering a stylish spot for sunbathing, transforming this compact area into a truly private and luxurious escape.

This new Lake Minnetonka custom home was designed for a young growing family that decided to trade uptown Minneapolis condo life for lake living. Located on a narrow 40-foot-wide lot, this 2,850sf modern home provides a strong connection to the lake while also balancing privacy from the neighbors. The main level comprises a three-car tandem garage and public living spaces, the upper level consists of private spaces while the finished basement serves as a flexible space. High performance triple pane European windows were strategically placed to frame views of the lake while interior facing windows were placed to frame tree and sky views. A stone clad fireplace acts as a spatial anchor that helps define the interior spaces as well as encourages the transition from interior to exterior spaces. Future solar panel conduits to the roof were installed as were EV charging stations in the garage and at the dock for future EV boat charging. Site water runoff is managed through an underground retention system. The exterior cement board siding is painted black to recede into the landscape while accents of thermally modified wood, custom steel slats and stone add visual interest at the street and lake facing sides. The interior material palette is purposefully simple and consists of stained white oak flooring, ebony stained white oak cabinetry and millwork, white quartz counters, powder coated steel railings and stone veneer. The final result is a vibrant home for this young family that infuses warmth with a modern aesthetic.

This enlarged kitchen now provides island workspace as well as a baking center and more/better storage. The client loves red, and made the decision to follow her heart and boldly use red quartz for her new counters. Custom beaded cabinets with a pewter stain brightens the look of her new kitchen.

This kitchen space provided some unique challenges with regards to construction and design. Our original design encompassed removing the post and a structural wall, but it wasn't in the client budget so we had a long narrow space to work with. Which I think turned out beautifully. The Family room Custom Entertainment built-in really flows well either going into or leaving the kitchen area. The wall pantry is most definitely the focal point in this kitchen. Not overly fussy just the right amount of detail.

Products making their television debut in this project were Anthology Woods Northwest Blend (a naturally weathered wood installed on a section of the ceiling, unfinished) and the extremely hard & durable Left Coast White Oak, a unique species growing only in a narrow strip of Oregon and bit in California & Washington (installed for the flooring, finished with Rubio Monocoat White natural oil). The homeowners were able to easily apply the finish themselves prior to installing the floor, and the zero VOC nature of the oil insured it was safe to move right in! The White tint to the oil gives a subtle white-washed look to the floors while maintaining a natural look and a supple feel underfoot. The couple participating in the episode loved their floor so much they decided to add more, installing it in their master bedroom, as well! The rich character of this natural Oak in a flat sawn (the old "European" way to cut Oak) wood product adds a timeless element & warmth to the feel of the space. Looking closely at the grain, you'll see cathedral patterns in many boards, along with a great mix of flat grain with rift areas as well. Finishing out the details of the room, the Bath Crashers team added natural carerra marble in the shower with tones of white & gray, and apron-front vanity sinks for extra charm.
