Project Feature: Eagan Transitional Kitchen Update

Today we’re featuring another beautiful kitchen transformation in Eagan, Minnesota. This newly remodeled home features a transitional style the homeowners are sure to love for years to come! The updated kitchen and dining room turned out amazing; however, getting there took some work!

The home’s original kitchen layout just wasn’t working for the homeowners. They craved a space that was more functional and better aligned with their taste.

Together with our friends at The Cabinet Store, our team breathed new life into the existing design with two-toned cabinetry from Showplace Cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and gorgeous bamboo flooring. To ensure the homeowners got the most out of their kitchen, we installed an island with bar seating and extra storage. We also created a spacious dining room, which includes a built-in bar.

Rosemount Main Level Remodel

Like many of the homes we renovate, this 90’s style home needed an update. Partnering with our friends at The Cabinet Store, we helped this busy Rosemount, Minnesota family remodel their entire main level kitchen, dining room, and family room. The goal was to make all three rooms feel cohesive while adding storage space, and the final design does just that! Get all the design details here.

Modern White Kitchen Remodel

These busy professionals in Mendota Heights, MN, decided to give their existing kitchen a much-needed facelift. The home, which was originally built in 1989, featured a narrow galley-style kitchen with a pass-through, which made for a tight squeeze. In addition to making the space more functional, the homeowners wanted an island big enough to fit the whole family around. The final reveal was not only stunning but exactly what the homeowners were looking for!

Modern White Kitchen Remodel

Shaeffer Design Build recently helped two busy professionals in Mendota Heights, MN, give their existing kitchen a much-needed facelift. Originally built in 1989, this home featured a narrow galley kitchen with a pass-through. In addition to opening up the space, the homeowners wanted their new kitchen to include an island big enough to fit the whole family around.

To create more space and improve the kitchen’s functionality, our team removed the wall separating it from the dining room. New custom cabinets were installed, including a spacious island topped with a gorgeous quartz countertop. The white cabinets along the perimeter of the kitchen contrast perfectly with the dark island to create an eye-catching two-tone effect. Some of our other favorite features of this remodel are the large windows, beverage counter, and built-in command center.

This project turned out beautifully, and we had so much fun helping the homeowners revamp their space! Scroll below to see the before and after photos of this stunning kitchen transformation—and be sure to get in touch with our team to discuss your own remodeling project!

Living Rooms to Hibernate in This Winter

The cooler weather and falling leaves make it safe to say summer is behind us. Though we’re big fans of crisp fall air and colorful foliage, we’re not quite ready for what comes next; winter.

We should probably be used to it by now but, we all know, Minnesota winters are no joke! After all, who can get used to relentless winds and below-freezing temperatures—not to mention the occasional polar vortex?!

Since there’s no denying winter is on the horizon, we’re already scoping out a good hiding place to hibernate until spring. Our number one spot? Snuggled up in front of the fireplace with hot cocoa in hand!

If you’re thinking the same thing, you’re going to love these cozy living rooms we’ve created for our clients. Browse through a few of our favorite corners to get comfy below!

3 Reasons to Start Planning Your Next Remodeling Project Now

It’s hard to believe summer is coming to a close and we’re already heading into fall. Before we know it, we’ll be hustling to get our holiday shopping done and preparing for holiday events! While we’re not quite ready for lazy afternoons spent at the lake to be over, there are many advantages to planning your remodeling project during this time of year. Keep reading for three reasons why you should start planning your remodeling project now!

1. Construction will be completed in time for holiday hosting. With the holidays rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to get your remodel out of the way. By getting the ball rolling now, you can ensure your home is in tip-top shape for hosting friends and family this holiday season.

2. Windows and doors can be left open. Early fall weather is the perfect middle ground when completing a remodeling project; not too cold and not too hot. Because the construction process requires a lot of in and out, early fall weather is ideal. Planning your remodel around cooler fall temps means you can rely on open windows to cool your home, rather than having the a/c unit working in overdrive to accommodate open doors.

3. Take advantage of outdoor activities. Living in a construction zone can be overwhelming. Between the dust and noise, getting out of the house every once in a while is a must! By planning and completing your remodeling project while the weather is still nice, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities. This is especially helpful while in the midst of a kitchen remodel because you can still catch the tail end of grilling season.
