This full kitchen remodel in Minneapolis transforms a historic early 1900s home into a bright, functional space while preserving its original character.

Custom Architectural and Interior Design Driven Renovation of the complete 1st floor in Chads Ford, PA. Our joint vision with our clients was to open up the view from the front of their home to the beautiful backyard. This required moving a powder room in the center of the home and shifting it to the right near the new mudroom and back stairs. Engineering a 25ft steel beam and steel posts was necessary to achieve this improvement. The other main objective was to open the space between the kitchen and the adjacent family room. Let's tour this amazing project by entering the new 9.5 ft x 5.5 ft double custom arched iron door into the 2 story open foyer where new curved stair railings with iron balusters, were installed. To the left through new arched doors is the new library office with new custom built in cabinets around the windows. To the right of the foyer is the renovated dining room with a new custom bar topped with Quartzite Bianco Superior countertop and backsplash. Through the foyer with a clear vision to the backyard you pass the new open hallway, marked by rustic white oak beams. To the left is the guest suite totally renovated. To the right you head to the garage, passing the hidden murphy door pantries, new powder room, massive mudroom with custom cabinets and a hidden laundry. Finishing this tour to the right of the foyer is a seating, storage nook next to the back stairs. From the foyer looking to the back yard, you enter the renovated family room with new custom cabinets surrounding the new fireplace and recessed lighted ceiling. To the right off the family room is the new custom kitchen with a gold trimmed alcove, curved stove hood, two islands, a Wolfe range and two subzero wall units. Under a new rustic white oak beam is the new custom coffee bar supporting the kitchen. This was an amazing project, and we hope the very best for this lovely family.

The original kitchen in this midcentury Ann Arbor home was only a fraction of the size it is today. We removed walls to open up the main floor and create a brighter, more connected space that fits the way this family lives. The existing hardwood floors were blended and refinished for a seamless transition between old and new, tying the whole space together. Storage and function were at the top of the list. We added dedicated spaces for spices, a mixer, corner pullouts, and small appliances to keep the counters clear and organized. Full-size column refrigerator and freezer units now provide plenty of food storage without sacrificing style. We also improved the light and flow of the space. A small window that faced a brick wall and a non-functioning door were both removed, replaced by a new sliding door that brings in natural light and connects the kitchen to the backyard. The new design combines navy and white cabinetry with brass and orange accents for a look that feels modern but still connected to the home’s midcentury roots. The result is a kitchen that works as beautifully as it looks, filled with smart storage and thoughtful details.

2013 CHRYSALIS AWARD NATIONAL WINNER, KITCHEN REMODEL $50,000 TO $75,000 “Crowded and disturbing” is how the woman of the house described this kitchen. A big peninsula with a huge range hood blocked the kitchen off from the breakfast room, a chimney style wall blocked off another side of the space and the doorways were too narrow. The result was a cramped feel with no traffic flow and a lack of usable storage. To remedy these issues, the remodeling plan called for regrouping all tall kitchen elements into a low visibility wall, eliminating the peninsula and then creating a natural path through the space using a middle island. Relocating the stove against the room’s back wall allowed the installation of a beautiful wood mantel hood and improved the work triangle. The side walls house beautiful custom white cabinets; one side housing the pantry, refrigerator and double wall ovens, the other the kitchen sink and dishwasher. The center island features a mahogany wood countertop and provides plenty of workspace above and storage below. Contrasting with the glazed cabinets, the woodwork is a highlight of the project and a key part of delivering on the homeowner’s desire for a bright, clean kitchen. They installed exotic mahogany floors to complement center wood Island. The floors also had created a casual ambiance, especially against the soft lemon chiffon wall paint. The ultimate French country style kitchen was completed by furnishing the old breakfast area with casual seating rather than a formal table.
