Remodeling: Eden Prairie Modern Kitchen

You can’t beat the classics, and this sophisticated Eden Prairie kitchen remodel is as lovely as can be. Before the renovation, the space was dated and had an awkward flow. Our team’s smart solution was repurposing the wasted transitional area into stylish open storage and a streamlined command center.

We couldn’t be happier with the result of this fun project. The updated kitchen feels lighter, bigger, and more serene. Every finish is carefully calibrated to stand the test of time, from the black and white color palette to the clean lines and smooth surfaces.

Remodeling: Wine Room + Lower Level

If you can think of nothing better than a glass of wine after a long day, you don’t want to miss our remodeling team’s latest project. Wine aficionados and appreciators alike will feel right at home in this sophisticated lower level and wine room!

It’s always a pleasure to help our clients design unique spaces around their passions. We loved making this fun wine cellar and bar a reality. Both areas are elegant showpieces that blend seamlessly into this multi-functional family space.

The rest of the lower level is cozy enough for family movie nights and kids’ sleepovers - with plenty of open space to move around and play! A fully equipped workout room rounds out the basement, making this remodel even more functional. From hosting friends to breaking a sweat, this space does it all!
