Kitchens by Design

Sometimes we can just give your bathroom a facelift 💕. We kept the cabinets and existing layout but created a larger open shower space and updated with free standing soaking tub. We brought the calming ocean feel with large format tile and painted cabinets Laguna blue. Cambria Portrush countertops with KOHLER vessel sink and Delta Faucet pull all the colors together. Check out the before and after photos 💕

Yes, we do small spaces! Often you see grand kitchens in the magazines but small kitchens are our specialty. Taking a small space and making it functional is one of my favorite challenges. See the before and after photos! Old hickory cabinets updated to fresh soft gray look with mosaic stained glass backsplash. I also love the hardware💕

Check out the transformation of these two bathrooms! Two bathrooms become a large primary bath with soaking tub and small powder bath with linen storage.

Big changes at our Arden Hills project. Sheetrock went up, tile installed, vanity cabinets and countertops in place. I love the free standing tub and floor mounted faucet!

This turned out to a be a big tear out at our Arden Hills project. The tile had a thick cement base which is hard to break down and very heavy. We removed the walls between the two bathrooms, removed the hall linen and the entry to the bedroom so we can straighten it out and give more space to the primary bathroom. The plumber has a ton of demo to do before he can run new lines. We found floor damage around the toilets areas which isn’t unusual. Walls are framed and furred out for the electricians to run their lines.

We have a new project in Arden Hills, turning a full bath and 3/4 bath into a large primary bath with soaking tub and powder bathroom for guests. I love the pinks and yellows of the 1950’s but it’s time for an update! See before photos and new layout below.

Our Mahtomedi project is almost wrapped up! Final floor finish happened this week, all the plumbing is done, countertops and tile are in. We are trying a new product, Wetwall, in the shower that has a great price point and I love that it doesn’t have grout lines. We are still waiting for decorative lighting, shower glass and HVAC to wrap up. Micah, my youngest son, will start moving in and make this space his home. We will do the upstairs bathroom and flooring next year.
