Cozy and Fun Spaces for Winter Hibernation

The holiday rush has passed, and hibernation season has settled over Minnesota. Whether we see snowstorms or subzero temps, tis the season to get cozy! Sure, you can keep busy with outdoor sports and activities, but one of the pleasures of winter is embracing the joy and comfort of Hygge season.

Today, we’re highlighting our favorite client spaces for cozy and fun winter hibernation. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of building countless stunning homes of all design styles. Coziness can look different for every homeowner. You might prefer relaxing by a crackling fire; however your neighbors might unwind with a rousing game night or family-friendly movie-marathon.

Cozy spaces are also comfortable places where you can settle in and be yourself. Scroll below to be inspired by our favorite magical reading nooks, homey lower levels, welcoming living rooms, and indoor recreation spots for fighting off cabin-fever!

Our 2024 Year in Review

As we reflect on the past year, our team is sincerely grateful for a busy year filled with inspiring work. From lovely homeowners to respected collaborators to our talented team, we work with incredible people. Want to see a brief overview of our 2024? We’ve assembled a few of our favorite highlights below!

Remodeling: Edina Traditional

This renovation was a major undertaking, which included the main level kitchen, powder room, mudroom, and office, along with a lower level bathroom and exercise room. Traditional and classic but with a playful side - this home has a style uniquely its own. Several design themes repeat throughout: soft tones, patterned wallpaper, beautiful built-ins, and warm gold metallics. Check out the blog for more details of this lovely home!

Spring 2024 Remodelers Showcase

In April, our team shared this gorgeous Eden Prairie home in the Remodelers Showcase. Reworking the main floor gave this family a full pantry and a more functional kitchen that flows into the living room. After renovation, the whole home feels brighter and has a beautiful sense of flow from space to space. Scroll through the before and after photo comparisons on the blog!

Sophisticated Edina New Build

Many finishes throughout this sophisticated home are clean and traditional. However, fun touches, such as a leopard-print stair runner, bold tilework, and moody paint, counterbalance those classic elements. A few of our favorite design features include the grand staircase, the abundant built-in storage, and the stunning primary bath soaking tub and oversized shower.

Deephaven New Build

Our bread-and-butter projects marry traditional design elements with modern style, technology, and trends. This beautiful Deephaven build perfectly exemplifies what we do best! Throughout the home, each space is elegant, effortless, and charming.

Organic Modern Home in Edina

Each home has its own style formula; clean lines, white spaces, earthy materials, neutral tones, and sophisticated pops of color define this project. As you move through the floorplan, each room is connected by repeated finishes, such as warm wood, black, and metallics. These clients have such cool, effortless style; we loved collaborating with them. Scroll through more photos of this gorgeous project on the blog!

Making an Impression: Entries with Style

Your home’s entry is more than a necessity; it's the gateway to your style. What welcomes you home? As the adage goes, “You only get one chance to make a first impression” - what does your entryway convey?

The moment they pull into the driveway or walk through the door, your guests get a snapshot of your family’s life. What they see is your choice. Whether your aesthetic is cozy and inviting, modern and minimal, playful and inspiring, classic and elegant, tasteful and traditional, we’ll create a home that reflects you.
