Inspiration for a timeless hallway remodel in Minneapolis

With a larger room to work with, the bath could now accommodate a larger vanity, providing a welcome spot for numerous grooming products that could not be accommodated by the former pedestal sink. It also created much needed elbow room in front of the mirror and enabled the homeowners to replace the outdated mirrored medicine cabinet with a more stylish and larger framed mirror. Finally, the extra space allowed the contractor to remove the old radiator unit and rework the HVAC, freeing up space and providing an immediate update. Photo by John Magor.

The overarching goal for these clients was a zero maintenance exterior. In order to truly accomplish that, the entire outside shell of the house had to be redone. All of the original aluminum siding was replaced with top-of-the-line Azek Trim (a composite) and repainted Hardie Plank Siding (a cement-based material designed to look exactly like wood siding). There was a lot of rotting wood that was behind the old siding making the covered porch area into a serious hazard, as it was on the verge of collapsing. The rotting areas were all fixed, including rotting areas on the roof. The old shingles were removed, rotting areas were fixed and the entire house was re-shingled. Numerous windows were replaced throughout the house including the garage and stable windows. The rear nook windows were replaced with ones that better addressed the space and disability while also addressing the massive rot present due to improper installation in the original construction.

New, full-height cabinetry with adjustable hanging rods and shelves were installed in a similar configuration to the original closet. The built-in dresser and island cabinetry were replaced with new soft-close cabinetry, and we replicated the primary bathroom countertops in the space to tie the rooms together. By adding numerous thoughtfully placed recessed lights, the closet felt more open and inviting, like a luxury boutique.
