Minneapolis Kitchen Design and Renovation

Sunny Tangletown Classic

Bright new spaces, centered around a refreshed kitchen and sunroom.

In this Minneapolis kitchen remodel, a 1920s center hall home is reimagined for modern living. The new kitchen and sunroom create a natural gathering space for friends and family. Just off the kitchen, a stylish bathroom adds a layer of personality with playful wallpaper. Downstairs, repurposed cabinetry and countertops bring new life and organization to the laundry room.

Knocking Down Walls

We knew how much this homeowner loves to entertain and we made a promise that we intended to keep. Improved, bright new spaces in time to house family and friends for Thanksgiving (and we completed a day before!) A big win for the team was removing the wall to open up the space and bring great light from the windows into the kitchen. Insulated floors and new windows keep the space enjoyable all year long.

 A top-of-the-line 36″ gas range for cooking and a wall hood to exhaust smoke, steam, and cooking odors to the outside. 

Ample space for people and storage.

Pantry with an enormous amount of storage. The narrow island allows for more than one cook, plus enough clearance for a wheelchair or walker.

Before: Disconnected spaces and an undefined in-between

As the kitchen was opened to the sunroom, this area was left without a clear role.

After: Wine + Coffee Bar

Now a purposeful transition space, it features cabinetry for a beverage refrigerator and dessert service. A soft pink palette adds personality, while the deeper wet bar allows for generous wine storage—keeping both reds and whites on hand.

Livable Sun Room

Before this space was a three-season porch making it unlivable for a majority of the year, however, it was a great refrigerator in the cold months! Transforming it into a sunroom completely changed the flow of the home. The homeowner admits that she now lives in this sunroom.

A new sophisticated entrance leads into the library. 

New French Doors improve the flow between the library and the new sunroom. We carefully chose materials to match the existing details of the home.

Vintage flair in the powder room.

Off of the kitchen is the powder room. The hexagon floor tile is a bit larger than the smaller mosaic tiles typically used and gives an updated take on a vintage floor tile. A bold and stylish floral wallpaper adds interest.

A smart solution for a better laundry

Repurposed Cabinets and Countertops

We took the old cabinets from the kitchen and re-purposed them along with the granite countertops and did a simple reorganizing of the existing space. A designated place at counter height for folding and sorting creates ease. New flooring and fresh paint, old fridge and microwave. The laundry is so much nicer than it used to be!  Check out these tips for a better basement laundry!
