Our “Saint Croix Bluff House” has again been honored. This time it's a regional first place win in the 2024 Chrysalis Awards. While many of you know us for our award-winning kitchens, our yearly portfolio of work typically includes many whole-home and new home projects. This is but one example of those. Thanks for looking.
More information on this project (especially the "before and after" photos) can be found on the our site at:

Midwest Home just published a wonderful piece on our "Clean and Green" kitchen today. This project was really a labor of love for us.

A big debt of gratitude goes out to the whole group that made this possible; Kate Linggi for her beautiful writing, Scott Friberg for his impeccable craftsmanship, Troy Thies for his amazing photography, and our clients Holly and Brian for their undying trust.

Contemporary yet classic, open yet cozy, a once crowded, hardly functional kitchen is transformed into a bright and beautiful midcentury-modern space

Our “Clean and Green” kitchen project has already won a regional Chrysalis award and a national Master Design Award this year. Well, now we just received news that it has also finished 1st in the Minnesota NKBA Design Competition. There was some fierce competition in the “Medium Kitchen” category this year so it’s especially gratifying to have won. Here are two “after” and “before” shots. The others are here:
