REFINED Remodeling: Before and After Transformations

As we all know well, the past year has significantly impacted how we live in and feel about our homes. From quarantine to working and schooling from home to entertaining mostly outdoors, so much of our lives happened at home in 2020.

It’s no surprise that all this extra time inside resulted in a massive spike in remodeling. When you’re restricted to a finite amount of space, you want to make the most of every single square foot!

Our remodeling team has been busy as ever, helping our lovely clients improve, reconfigure, add-on, update and make the most of their homes. It’s always a joy to watch them fall in love with their spaces again.

Modern and Playful Lower Level Remodel

Who doesn't love a stunning home transformation? When it comes to renovations, we're hard-pressed to think of a bigger upgrade than turning an unfinished basement to this modern and playful space! The finished lower level is cozy, bright, trendy, and sophisticated; it's the perfect spot to unwind with a drink in-hand.

From the spacious bar to the minimal glass wine cellar by STACT, these homeowners are ready to host wine tastings and cocktail hours with style! Speaking of style, our design partner, Andrea & Co, helped us create a lower level filled with design personality! We love the pops of pattern, color, metallics, reclaimed wood, and tile used throughout. The mix of materials brings so much life and fun to the room; it's like a party for your eyes!

Clean and Classic 1970's Update by REFINED Remodeling

"We enjoyed working with Kathy to update the main level of her longtime home. Designed and built by her brother, Kathy's parents lived in her house for many years. Her father was in the lumber business, so Kathy has a deep appreciation for the quality and details of the original construction. A vital component of this renovation was respecting the original design, and then adding the modern convenience and style of a chef's kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a more open main living area. One of the most fun aspects of the project was Kathy's sense of humor and her openness to pushing the design envelope. If you were not smiling at the start of a conversation with Kathy, you certainly were by the time it was over! She is genuinely "Minnesota nice." ~ Duane, President of REFINED Remodeling

This original 1970s home in Edina’s Normandale Park neighborhood was ready for a new look! Our REFINED Remodeling team gave the entire main floor a refreshing design update. The highlight of this stunning renovation is the gourmet eat-in kitchen, which flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas. The main floor also includes a cozy sitting room with a gas fireplace that's perfect for lingering over a glass of wine or settling in with a good book. Moving to the second floor, we updated the master suite to be a sophisticated and peaceful retreat. We hope these homeowners enjoy their newly remodeled space for years to come; it perfectly complements this classic Edina neighborhood!

Entry #34
11352 Mount Curve Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55347

Located in Eden Prairie’s sought-after Olympic Hills neighborhood, this young family transformed their main and upper-level living areas. This stunning renovation includes an updated kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and master suite with dramatic light-filled interiors overlooking the private golf course. The home was designed and built to have an open floor plan for easy entertaining. This was achieved by replacing walls with a thoughtfully designed pass-through buffet and columns, allowing the gourmet kitchen to join the main-level formal dining and living room. The main-level powder room, three upper-level bedrooms, kids bath/laundry, loft, and master suite were all elegantly updated as well – this home is truly a must-see! More details

The gleaming renovation features a new eat-in gourmet kitchen with an expanded island, creating a natural flow from the kitchen to the dining and living rooms. Throughout the home, a cozy sitting room with a gas fireplace, the main-level shared bath, a bedroom, and the master bedroom with en suite bathroom were all beautifully updated to complement the classic Edina neighborhood. More details
