Eagan Kitchen and Mudroom Remodel

Is there anything more fun than an unbelievable design transformation? This Eagan kitchen and mudroom remodel definitely fits the bill - the before-and-after comparison is incredible! Working with our friends at The Cabinet Store, it was a pleasure to help these homeowners take their kitchen, mudroom, and powder room from start to finish.

While we didn’t add square footage on this project, we did open up the floor plan to make the most of the existing space. Specifically, tearing out the awkward peninsula cabinet and replacing it with two separate islands made a huge difference! By creating two islands, the kitchen’s countertops are naturally divided into prep space and eating/serving space. We also relocated the fridge, freeing up room for a new coffee bar, pantry, and display cabinet.

In the mudroom, new cabinets provide much-needed organization and a streamlined drop zone for coming and going. Another couple of features we love are the hooks for jacket and bag storage and the built-in shoe/boot rack. The bright navy-painted cabinets carry into the refinished powder room as well. They’re the perfect touch of color without being too overpowering; plus, they complement neutral tones beautifully.

Rosemount Kitchen & Living Room Remodel

Our team recently had the pleasure of working on this Rosemount, Minnesota, transitional kitchen remodel - isn’t it incredible? We love finding creative design solutions for our clients, and this project is full of them!

In a long list of customized finishes, our favorite would have to be the centerpiece kitchen island. First of all, it’s huge, which leaves ample room for prep, cooking, serving, and even hanging out in the kitchen. Second, it’s also packed with hidden storage cabinets, drawers, and pull-outs. And lastly, we can’t get enough of the hybrid eat-in island design with seating for eight people. Fully comfortable seating at that; no one’s squishing in here!

Beyond the island, the remodeled space has such an effortless flow; everything is open, warm, and inviting. The coastal color palette of blues, greys, and sandy brown adds to the relaxed, welcoming vibe. Another huge element that makes the entire home feel balanced and peaceful is integrated storage. There is a place for everything, from the kitchen’s display cabinets and open shelves to the living room’s fireplace built-ins.

Eagan Kitchen and Main Floor Renovation

As we jump into the new collaborations 2026 will bring, we’re excited to share this Eagan kitchen and main floor renovation. Before remodeling, the owners felt their home was looking dated, closed off, and mismatched. After discussing their vision, our mission was to open up the floor plan to better host family hangouts and gatherings.

During this remodel, our primary tasks included removing walls and relocating plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. By opening up the layout and making it accessible from every entry, the kitchen became the main floor’s new focal point. The greatest challenges we faced on this project were the intricacies of rerouting multiple utilities and matching up the flooring transitions.

Overall, we loved collaborating with this awesome family. Their reimagined home is beautifully suited for daily life and hosting special occasions. We hope these clients enjoy their new space for many years to come! Want to see more before-and-after photos from this project? Scroll below to take a look!

Eagan Basement Speakeasy Remodel

We’re so excited to share a modern, unique, and stylish project today! This Eagan basement speakeasy remodel is truly in a league of its own; it’s a comfortable, chic space for hosting family and friends.

Before remodeling, this was a fairly standard basement: no bar, no frills, no character. The homeowners wanted to transform the space into a one-of-a-kind speakeasy, a memorable hosting hub. The design of this project originated with the clients years ago. Every New Year’s, they have a long-standing tradition of visiting different speakeasies with close friends.

After partnering with our talented friends at The Cabinet Store, we got down to business! A few of our design highlights from this project include:

• The stunning floating bar shelves display

• A fun custom approach to finishes, from light switches to outlets

• The bespoke bar faucet and custom light fixtures

• Custom panelled appliances that blend into the bar

• A reflective tile backsplash that embodies the speakeasy vibe

• The lit-up bar shelves that provide an extra splash of glamor

• Ceiling paint that reflects different lighting textures

From start to finish, we loved being part of this remodel! It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with clients who understand the process and have a unique vision for their space. Bringing our knowledge to the table and translating their plans into reality is our favorite thing!
