Another beautiful Bungalow kitchen remodel in the Northrop neighborhood of South Minneapolis. These homeowners contacted Castle planning for a whole kitchen renovation, which included opening the existing kitchen into the dining room so the family could enjoy a more multi-purpose space. The original (1927) built-in buffet cabinet between the kitchen and dining was re-homed to a vintage salvage room in Minneapolis for a new future life. The homeowners did not want a boring kitchen. We also focused on matching the original style/feel of the home but rejuvenated. A fresh traditional kitchen design was planned to provide better function for the family’s needs and also a beautiful style to the heart of their home. New hardwood floors carry into the kitchen to match the existing hardwoods. New custom-built flush-inset cabinetry was designed with a wonderful two-tone color scheme. The new cabinetry includes custom storage, glass uppers and accessories; silverware tray divides, trash pull-out, outlet docking drawer for phones to charge, custom shelf roll-outs and lazy susan corners. Castle selected historic paint colors by Benjamin Moore to keep within the period of the home. The base cabinets are painted in Benjamin Moore, Tarrytown green and the uppers in a soft white (BM, Ballet white). By doing two cabinetry colors, Castle was able to create some unique interest and anchor the base cabinet to the floor while still having light walls with the white cabinetry. New marble patterned Cambria Quartz countertops were selected in the luxurious and classic Torquay design. To complete the walls, traditional white subway tile was installed. Along with the beautiful finishes, we also improved light quality in the space. New windows were installed increasing from 2 windows to 3 windows with an additional window to the backyard. We also installed 2 Solatubes for additional natural lighting. The Solatubes also include a solar-powered night light and additional light kit for night time use. Overall, the new traditional kitchen is much like a spring day – light, airy and inviting! Come see the space on Castle’s Educational Home Tour, Fall 2018!

Hallway - traditional hallway idea in San Diego

The living area half bathroom was also upgraded. New fixtures, paint, and solatube installation. This solatube installation cleans up the ceiling by combining natural light, a small light fixture, and the bathroom vent into one cleanly designed opening. The solatube reduces the need for artificial light during daylight hours- reducing overall operating energy, increasing property value, and increasing residential sustainability.

This homeowner chose two 10' SolaTube Classic systems. The installation took less than four hours- with NO drywall finishing required!

An open layout home, showing the benefit of natural lighting. Those are not large can lights - those are Solatubes in the kitchen and living room, reflecting natural lighting from the roof into your home! Solatubes do not require permitting to install and can transform a dark home with just an hour long installation. Solatubes are extremely popular here in the PNW where overcast days can leave your home feeling dim.

The Solatube Tubular Skylight is perfect for illuminating dark spaces within the home. This pink-white bathroom features the effects of the Solatube Tubular Skylight.
