Apple Valley Kitchen Remodel ✨

Talk about a glow-up! 👀
This dated kitchen had great bones (and those beams!! 🙌), but it was craving a fresh life.

We opened up the layout, brightened the palette, and brought in natural textures + rich wood tones so the space still feels warm — just with a very elevated twist.

🪵 Real wood beams + ceiling = kept, revitalized, and celebrated
✨ Custom cabinetry in a modern stain
🍽️ Quartz with a statement vein island top
🎨 Neutral tile + layered lighting for softness
🔥 Matte black appliances + details for contrast
🌿 Clean, organic, refined — but still cozy

It’s amazing what thoughtful design + craftsmanship can do.

Cottage Grove Kitchen Remodel ✨ (2018)

Can we talk about glow-ups for a second? 👀
Its fun to see where we start…

From closed-off + dated to bright, open, and packed with style — this kitchen got the full Brynn Alden treatment.
✅ Fresh white cabinetry
✅ New stainless appliances
✅ Large working island (hello extra seating 👋)
✅ Quartz counters + subway tile
✅ Updated lighting & warm hardwood floors

We kept eat-in area and added a banquet, and then elevated everything around it. Now it feels connected, warm, and perfect for everyday life and weekend entertaining.

✨ From Ceiling Damage to Showstopper! ✨
This Cottage Grove kitchen didn’t just need a facelift — it needed a full transformation. What started with water damage and dark, dated cabinets turned into a bright, functional, and timeless space.

✅ Custom maple cabinetry in a rich stain
✅ New layout with a central peninsula and added storage
✅ Modern hood, backsplash, and flooring that tie it all together

This one’s proof that even the most tired kitchen can become a home’s favorite gathering place. And can you believe it was done in 2019?

10/22/2025

Wow — what a transformation! ✨

This Cottage Grove kitchen doesn’t even look like the same house anymore. The “before” shots from 2019 show a closed-off space with warm oak trim, dated beige walls, and a separate dining area. Fast-forward to today and it’s light, bright, and completely reimagined — open sightlines, modern shaker cabinetry, crisp quartz counters, black hardware, and a fresh neutral palette that makes the whole main level feel bigger.

It’s hard to believe this remodel is already from 2019 — it still feels brand-new! 💫

Lakeview Transformation in Apple Valley 🌊✨
From dated wood tones and enclosed spaces to wide-open lake views and modern elegance — this remodel completely changed the way this home feels.

We brightened the space with lighter finishes, sleek cabinetry, and updated lighting, while keeping the warmth of the natural wood beams that make this home so special. Now, the lake view finally takes center stage — right where it belongs!

What do you think of this transformation? 👀
