Crocus Hill Foursquare

Kitchen small peninsula and red breakfast area with plentiful windows

Crocus Hill Foursquare Unassuming yet delightfully detailed, this foursquare was the charming historic residence of the homeowners’ dreams, aside from one rather key component. The kitchen was outdated and small — tiny really, with just three linear feet of counter space and only one drawer. It was also the main circulation path in the rear of […]

Wirth Parkway Bungalow

Kitchen showing ceiling fan, cream cabinetry and woodwork, gray stone counters, and hardwood floor

Wirth Parkway Bungalow This 1920’s residence, with a postcard-perfect view of Wirth Parkway, is a case study in a small-scale project done right. The homeowner didn’t have a grand budget, but also didn’t want to skimp on the details and function. She served as her own general contractor and got very involved in the design […]

Summit Avenue Prairie School

Kitchen peninsula with bar stools and pendant lights with milky white conical glass shades

Summit Avenue Prairie School This Prairie School-style house originally had a small, isolated kitchen from an era when such spaces were not meant to be seen. The client desired a larger, more visible, and contemporary kitchen to accommodate their modern lifestyle and growing family. A historically-sensitive addition to the back of the house allowed the […]

Saint Croix River Cabin

Master bedroom tan padded headboard, wood bedside table with dark, distressed finish, and back of dresser

Saint Croix River Cabin This treasured family hideaway is a demonstration of how the sensibility of a timeless cabin lifestyle can be preserved while providing modern day amenities. With the desire to spend more time at their beloved family retreat, our clients were interested in a more open and cohesive cabin that would both celebrate and […]

Warwick Street Bungalow

The pass through is open, as is the cabinet door above. The pass through has a folding hinged door decorated with cut-outs.

Warwick Street Bungalow The original kitchen of this bungalow was typical of its era: very small, and traversed by traffic from three doorways. With only four feet of 30-inch high counter space this busy little kitchen was less than functional. Our clients dreamed of a functional modern kitchen, yet wanted to stay within the original […]

Montrose Place Bungalow

The kitchen has medium toned honey brown cabinetry. Three large artfully stiled windows are set in a band above the white farmhouse sink and below open shelves displaying pretty objects. Stainless steel appliances contrast with dark green-gray striated stone countertops. Hardwood floors are softened with a large botanical area rug.

Montrose Place Bungalow When our clients were ready to move back to the city after raising their children in the suburbs, they decided to downsize into a classic 1922 bungalow. The small, but handsome house had been stripped of its millwork, built-ins, and much of its Arts & Crafts charm in the ’50s and ’70s. Our […]

Kenwood Arts & Crafts Kitchen

The small, square island is topped with white stone with brown striations, matching the rest of the counters. The underhung sink is under a generous row of windows, which are topped by open display shelving. The rectangular cream glass and brushed silver pendant lights hang over the sink, and the matching chandelier illuminates the island.

Kenwood Arts & Crafts Kitchen The owners of this 1907 Arts & Crafts style residence in the Lowry Hill neighborhood wanted a highly-functional new kitchen that would have a place for their young children. Out went the 1980s-era kitchen with its white plastic laminate cabinets that were a jarring contrast to the extensive oak woodwork […]

Lake Harriet Villa

New entrance tower, all glass on the second floor, and garage area. The exterior of this large house is white stucco with brown wood trim and a terra cotta tiled roof. The garage has arched doors and it's courtyard is paved to match the roof colors.

Lake Harriet Villa As with many large houses built in the first part of the last century, the separation of family and servant spaces poses common problems for modern families. This 1928 dwelling, which was placed on the National Register as an outstanding example of the Mediterranean Villa Style, suffered such maladies. The kitchen was […]

Whittier Foursquare

Red-toned woodwork in a darker shade in a simple yet elegant style is used throughout the first floor, including the kitchen, where it's accented by copper hardware. The wood is broken up by black stone counters, cream subway tile backsplash, and a honey-toned hardwood floor. There's a large oblong octagonal island and a farmhouse sink.

Whittier Foursquare As the parents of three children, the owners’ goals for the remodel were simple: they wanted to improve the connection between the kitchen and family room, allowing the family to better interact with each other. The family also desired a larger living area and a more functional back entry and closet that can […]
