With his resources and expertise at your fingertips, checking off projects and repairs to get your home market-ready is no problem!

REFINED collaborated with local industry professionals to design the interior of this home in a Modern Americana style. The sophisticated design details include natural wood tones, neutral color palette, mixed metals, and white accents highlighted by the natural light from the many oversized windows.

A whole-house remodel completely transformed this six-bedroom, four-bathroom home. Gone are the dark, closed-off spaces that made up the existing home. In their place are bright, modern updates like a curved glass wine room and a reimagined game/media room. Entertaining family and friends is a breeze thanks to the gorgeous chef’s kitchen. It features not one, but two spacious islands and an adjoining butler’s pantry. Head to our blog to view more photos! 

Edina Country Club Home Remodel Before & After

At REFINED Remodeling, we love helping our clients breathe new life into their homes. From simple updates to total transformations, our team truly enjoys each and every project we work on and this Edina Country Club home remodel is no exception!

With a failing foundation and a need for more room on the main level, this busy family decided it was time to remodel their 1920s-era home. The plan consisted of adding a new addition and garage, as well as a complete update on the first floor. The home's brand-new addition was a complete game-changer, offering plenty of room for a fully functional mudroom/laundry area and a beautifully renovated kitchen. To top off the main level remodel, we updated the bathroom with new flooring, wall tile, lighting, and vanity sink.

Kitchen Islands: Heart of the Modern Home

A home's design reflects that family's lifestyle. Few floor plans have risen to prominence as much as the island-anchored, open concept kitchen. Most of us know the virtues of open concept homes; they’re bright, welcoming, and visually appealing.

Flowing floor plans offer a lived-in vibe. Instead of formal, one-purpose rooms, these homes have a cohesive family-friendly feel. Each space is designed to multi-task and accommodate the different rhythms of everyday life.

Centerpiece kitchen islands have been popular for a while now, but lately, they’ve become bigger and better! Islands have evolved to include everything from entertaining areas, minibars, prep stations, eat-in tables, and so much more.

Recently, the double kitchen island has also become incredibly popular with our clients. This trend allows for hosting with elegance and ease; one island is the workhorse, while the other remains clutter-free for guests!

Islands are a gathering place. They're the kitchen MVP of weekend pancakes, holiday gatherings, late-night study sessions, weekday snack time, work-from-home conference calls, family baking parties, and so much more. We’ve pulled together a few of our favorite kitchen islands below – take a peek!
