Before Conditions
-
Dark oak cabinets, bold 1970s tile, and vinyl flooring trapped the rooms in the past
-
The general layout was fine, but oddly placed elements like the ovens impeded the work flow in the kitchen
-
Insufficient seating for family meals
Client Objectives
-
Elevate style with finishes and furnishings in a warm modern palette with playful accents
-
Create a unified aesthetic for connecting rooms
-
Establish a bar zone in the family room for easy entertaining
-
Kids are older…. Time to invest in quality furnishings and finishes!
-
Update the powder room with better lighting that guests will appreciate
Design Challenges:
-
New easy to maintain flooring provides a visual flow from the entry through the family room.
-
Three coordinated finishes break up the large expanse of kitchen cabinetry
-
Light grey upper cabinets, white quartz counters and a stacked white tile backsplash keep the kitchen bright and cheerful
-
Deep navy walls and a rich and cozy array of soft textiles in the Family Room create a relaxed mood for sinking in and curling up
-
Finishes throughout were chosen with the dogs and teenagers in mind
-
The ovens were relocated out of the main work area to allow for larger prep zones
-
Bar storage in the Family Room features a wine refrigerator and closed storage for easy access with less visual clutter
-
Powder Room feels welcoming and flattering with bright lighting and modern finishes
The Details That Make It Work
-
Thanks to the improved seating and finishes throughout, the homeowners are proud to host events from small dinners to graduation parties with ease and style.
-
New dining table in kitchen expands with a clever hidden leaf to accommodate
-
Last minute social gatherings
-
The kitchen desk was eliminated while file drawers and a charging drawer were integrated into the main cabinetry, providing functional storage for today’s needs.
-
A roll out drawer under the bar sink serves as a convenient spot for liquor storage
-
The homeowners’ vintage metal accent chairs were reupholstered in a bold orange to combine family history with a new playful vibe
-
Eliminated a daily pain point by replacing the divided window over the sink with a single pane window, offering an expanded backyard view

About Colleen
I live in Minneapolis with my landscape architect/urban designer husband, my volleyball & Taylor Swift loving daughter who believes she’s my design assistant, an independent Siamese, a feisty grey-striped kitten, and a menagerie of turkeys and other wild animals who visit our backyard for the free food. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me cooking up a Paleo feast, cheering for my daughter's volleyball team, playing pickleball, or hiding in a corner with my nose in a book.
