Lake Elmo

This homeowner wanted to update their original honey oak kitchen, improve awkward layouts, and create a space that better fit their lifestyle.

We started by removing the doorway walls between the kitchen and mudroom/garage entry. This allowed us to install a pocket door, extending the sink wall cabinetry by two feet and creating a more open and functional layout. The additional space also enabled us to enlarge the island, a key goal for the homeowner.

Next, we removed the small walled-in pantry next to the refrigerator and replaced it with a coffee and beverage bar. To enhance the design, we added glass-front upper cabinets for display and interest. The elimination of the pantry walls also helped open up the kitchen even more.

For materials, we installed Bertch Cabinetry in a Driftwood finish for the perimeter and a painted Indigo island for contrast. The kitchen features matte black hardware and Cambria Lakedale quartz countertops with a Ridgeline edge profile. A Geoscapes picket backsplash tile completed the remodel, creating a modern and functional kitchen space.
