Amy Williams photography Fun and whimsical family room & kitchen remodel. This room was custom designed for a family of 7. My client wanted a beautiful but practical space. We added lots of details such as the bead board ceiling, beams and crown molding and carved details on the fireplace. The kitchen is full of detail and charm. Pocket door storage allows a drop zone for the kids and can easily be closed to conceal the daily mess. Beautiful fantasy brown marble counters and white marble mosaic back splash compliment the herringbone ceramic tile floor. Built-in seating opened up the space for more cabinetry in lieu of a separate dining space. This custom banquette features pattern vinyl fabric for easy cleaning. We designed this custom TV unit to be left open for access to the equipment. The sliding barn doors allow the unit to be closed as an option, but the decorative boxes make it attractive to leave open for easy access. The hex coffee tables allow for flexibility on movie night ensuring that each family member has a unique space of their own. And for a family of 7 a very large custom made sofa can accommodate everyone. The colorful palette of blues, whites, reds and pinks make this a happy space for the entire family to enjoy. Ceramic tile laid in a herringbone pattern is beautiful and practical for a large family. Fun DIY art made from a calendar of cities is a great focal point in the dinette area.

DAY 23: COMPLETE! This Castle Rock kitchen, start to finish, was a record remodel of 23 calendar days! The clients were a joy to work with and the results are a fantastically successful facelift on the previously outdated kitchen.

Our socially engaged, active client transplanted from the East Coast found a charming older home in Minneapolis that provided a home base in a new city. While the home had its charm, the dark interior didn’t provide the uplifting respite she desired. With a busy travel schedule and calendar full of after-hours social events, she was looking for a space to unwind at the end of a long day. She wanted to maximize her time at home, and a place to host friends pre-gala. We transformed an extra bedroom into a happy-hour type lounge with upholstered chairs and bar cart along with her Grandmother’s vanity and privacy screen for the ultimate pre-gala experience. In the kitchen, we replaced the dark cabinetry with open painted shelves to lighten the space and provide convenient access to her glassware, adding sparkle to the room. And perhaps most importantly, her bedroom is now a quiet, peaceful refuge with luxurious details that wrap her in warmth and relaxation. ---- Project designed by Minneapolis interior design studio LiLu Interiors.

This full time working mom has a small kitchen without a pantry. Because space was at a minimum and she felt she wasn't managing her time effectively she wasn't cooking dinner, which was becoming too expensive. Utilizing the space both above and under the pie safe gave her more room for canned and dry goods. Creating a command center next to the pie safe allowed her to keep the family's activities on track.

With six people (and dogs and chickens), this busy household needs organization solutions. The family calendar, bulletin board, and wall-mounted filing system keep everything organized and at arms-reach.

This mud room just had to connect to the dark gray and wood tones of the kitchen, as the lockers are easily seen down the back hall. Custom storage with heavy duty mesh, oversized cabinet pulls, organizer charging and family calendar center are jsut a few of the well thought out details in this wonderful space!
