South Minneapolis form follows function

This 1947 home had a kitchen with plenty if storage but zero function.    We opened up the space and the countertops with fresh white custom cabinets and kitchy quartz tops. We then warmed up the room with gorgeous wood floors custom matched to the existing floors throughout this adorable mid-century modern home.

This kitchen remodel had to keep up with the artist owners' love for bold, bright color while standing the test of time.  Black base cabinets contrast light wood tall cabinets, while veins of teal in the countertops and gold hardware keep it interesting in the most beautiful way.

The homeowner's father had remodeled this kitchen 40 some years ago, making this remodel a bittersweet update.  Dark wood and heavy accents were lifted with soft grey cabinets, rustic wood look heated tile flooring, and whimsical blue hexagon backsplash.  Layers of lighting put the final glow on this gorgeous refresh.

This little kitchen became a big deal when the crowding walls were  removed and replaced with warm and cool contrasting finishes.  Space and organization is never an issue when this couple entertains.

Dark cabinets are replaced with white and balanced in a classic color combo with navy blue backsplash.  Blue veining runs through quartz countertops, and textured blue tone backsplash highlights the coffee nook.

How to grow a condo kitchen?  With this, we extended the cabinets into the dining area with a gorgeous buffet.  Then we turned the large front entry closet into a pantry and fridge "room" that still included space to hang coats and store shoes.

This kitchen was once a cramped, dark U shape with cabinets chopping the space in two.  Hickory cabinets lighten and brighten the newly open space, while walnut on the chopping island and desk give the space warmth and interest.  

This Bloomington rambler opened up bigtime when walls came down and the work began.  This kitchen boasts storage gallore and seating for plenty to accomodate family gatherings.  A combination of quartz and wood countertops kept the price down while adding interest.

A remodel doesn't have to mean losing peronality as you can see with this colorful, detailed mid century kitchen.
