4 REASONS

YOU SHOULD REMODEL

Take a look around your house. If you’re anything like most families, you may see a lived-in and loved home — scratches on the door from the dog, a broken cabinet handle where your son pulled too hard, and scuffs on the wall from balls bounced back and forth. A home captures thousands of little memories, but that doesn’t mean you need to live with each bump and bruise life brings. Whether your home needs an update because your design tastes have changed or your lifestyle warrants a complete restructure of the oor plan, it may be time for a remodel.

Knowing when to remodel, where to start, and how to kick off a big pro ect can be intimidating. ere are four benefits to remodeling with a professional to keep in mind.

YOUR HOME SHOULD BE YOUR HAVEN

A home is meant to be a place where you can relax with your family, a place where you feel most comfortable, surrounded by the things and people you love. “Rooms that are nonfunctional, outdated, and inefficient are ones that make for great transformations,” says Jamie Tjornehoj of New Spaces. Cramped and cluttered spaces can bring stress, which is when you know it’s time to revamp.

Renovating your home gives you the creative freedom to reinvent your space exactly to your liking. Instead of clutter and dysfunction, you can create spaces that make sense for the way you live, bringing a mindset of peace and relaxation as soon as you step inside.

YOUR HOME VALUE MAY INCREASE

Not only can a remodel make your space one of joy, but it can also increase your home’s value if you decide to eventually sell. A newly remodeled house, filled with modern appliances, updated surfaces, or increased square footage, will be heavily desired on the market.

Remodeled homes bring up the value of the neighborhood and, depending on the project, can ultimately bring a major return on investment.

YOUR HOME SHOULD FIT YOUR GOALS

As our lives change, our goals change. “Homeowners should consider remodeling when they notice that their home no longer fi ts their lifestyle, explains Tjornehoj. Perhaps when you first bought your house, a small kitchen was perfect because you

were constantly driving to kids’ sports games and eating on the road. But now, that small kitchen ma es it more difficult to host large groups and entertain guests. This doesn’t mean you have to move to a different house and leave the area you love. A remodel is the perfect way to stay in your house and meet the new goals you have for your life.

IT CAN BE EASIER THAN MOVING

Although moving may seem simpler than finding a contractor and designing a remodel, remodeling can

actually be more cost-effective and easier. Many Realtors recommend remodeling before moving, as it can increase resale value and buyer interest. And if you don’t want to leave behind the bonds you’ve knit with your community and the memories you’ve created in your home, remodeling is the perfect choice for you.

Remodeling is a unique opportunity that allows you to meet your needs and create a personalized design. our home should be a space fi t for you and your family, and remodeling creates that haven for you.

Maintaining an Organized Home

Get Creative

Organizing is a perfect time to set your creativity free here are sorting bins in every color of the rainbow choose your favorite f bins aren’t your style, you could also use wall-hanging bas ets or drawer organi ers, or invest in new cabinetry. our organi ational style should be an extension of your personality and your home, so choose whichever style fits you best.

Know Your Family

Create realistic organization methods that complement your family s routine. f your family ust won’t fold the blan ets on the couch, get a bas et instead for them to throw the blan ets into. f your daughter always leaves her purse on the itchen table, add a hoo near the door for easy storage. hanging too much about the way we naturally do things in the spirit

of ‘staying organized’ can create more stress than peace,” says Anna Abrams from Built to Last Custom Closets. Take notice of your family’s habits and design your organizational system around your daily routine.

Make the Most of Your Space

As a closet designer, Abrams sees a lot of underutilized space. Closets are meant for organization, and yours should store as much as it can! Instead of weak wire shelving, opt for adjustable, well-designed materials, Abrams suggests. This way, each of your personal items will have a home where you can easily find it.

Embedding outlets into drawers is another way that you can make the most of your space. Even though charging cables are necessary for a busy, modern life, they can detract from the aesthetic of your home. A drawer will easily hide plenty of cables and provide easy access to all your electronics.

Tidy As You Go

No matter how many baskets you have or hooks you add, little messes will be inevitable. The best way to avoid these is to tidy as you go. “Make sure at least one routine-based organization task is completed every day,” recommends Caroline Moynihan of Twin Cities Closet Company. “Small, manageable, and repeatable tasks make keeping your home organized way less daunting.” When you wake up the next morning, you can start your day fresh with at least one task completed.

a ing the first step in a new organization routine can seem difficult, but these tips are a simple way to create a stress-free environment.

TIPS FOR SELECTING WINDOW COVERINGS

BY TAYLOR HUGO

How you decorate a space after a remodel is just as important as the remodel itself. Torndown walls may open up a oor plan and freshly painted cabinets can brighten a kitchen, but it’s the finishing d cor elements, li e window coverings, that bring a room to life and infuse the homeowner’s personality.

“Windows play a central role in d cor, says aniel ogin of otcha Covered. “Whether it’s the living room or the family room, windows are the centrality of a room. You see the glass and see the light coming in, and now your next question is, what are you going to put on the windows to address the functionality or the d cor to fit the room

From curtains and shades to blinds and shutters, there are countless options to fit your needs, style, and budget. ere, ogin and other win Cities design experts offer their tips for choosing window coverings for your newly remodeled home.

Delve into the expert advice of local design professionals as they share their insights on choosing the perfect window coverings for your remodeled home.

GOTCHA COVERED

1 Plan ahead.

Window coverings shouldn’t be an afterthought once construction wraps on your remodeling project. “You should consider your window coverings as you’re making your remodeling plans for two reasons: One, you might run out of money if you don’t budget for custom window treatments. The other reason is so you can get that coordination and cohesiveness with the design of the rest of your home,” says Kathy Raph of Gotcha Covered.

If your remodel will take your walls down to the studs, involving a design consultant in the planning process also gives you the opportunity to install wiring for motorized shades and helps mitigate window-covering challenges you might face if you choose specialty-shaped windows.

2 Consider your needs first. While you want to love the look of your window coverings, they also need to meet your needs. “Before you even start to get into the discussion of aesthetics, it’s really important to know what the purpose of the product is so that we can guide the customer to the appropriate products,” says Chris Kartschoke of Gotcha Covered.

or example, if you have new ooring you want to keep from fading, you might want UV-protection shades. Room-darkening curtains can help young kids sleep, while motorized shades are ideal for elderly people who plan to age in place. In the Midwest in particular, cellular or honeycomb shades keep rooms comfortable during cold winters and hot summers. “Form follows function,” adds Gotcha Covered’s Gressa Schroeder. “Form, meaning the aesthetics, comes after the function of the product.”

3 Think about aesthetics. You don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality. Once you hone in on what your window coverings need to achieve for you to feel comfortable in your home, consider how you want them to look and feel. “I always like to ask homeowners if they want their window treatments to pop or

if they want them to blend in,” says Nathan Manthei of Gotcha Covered. “Maybe they have some cool backsplash or accent wall, and they want to keep that the focus. Other times, they might want to highlight the view out the window, and they’re looking to add some texture, color, and interest with what they put on the windows.”

Window coverings can also be used to change the look of a space. Ceiling-height installations that bring the eye up and down create the illusion of higher ceilings. Layered neutrals, on the other hand, soften the appearance of hard-surface blinds and shutters. “Draperies literally transform a room,” says Elizabeth Cohen of

STUDIO M INTERIORS | SCOTT AMUNDSON PHOTOGRAPHY

Studio M Interiors. “Layering creates interest and dimension.”

4 Create a cohesive look. Remodeling projects are all about seamlessly blending old with new, and window coverings are no exception. A good rule of thumb to

create a cohesive look is to match products across spaces that are simultaneously in your field of vision, says Kartschoke.

This could look like hanging matching curtains in multiple rooms or using the same fabric for drapery over a patio door and a valance over a kitchen window. “Sometimes

creating a cohesive look doesn’t involve using the same exact product,” says Schroeder. “Color or texture are two things that can be used to create a unified loo as well.

5 Don’t forget the hardware. A lot of focus is placed on material or fabric when choosing window coverings, but hardware can also add personality and cohesion. “Drapery hardware comes in varying metals, woods, and custom colors that can help with your overall aesthetic in a space,” says hannon carrella of irshfield’s Décor Divisions.

6 Work smarter, not harder. Smart home technology has expanded from lighting and thermostats to now include window coverings. “Brands have introduced Bluetooth technology into window treatments, so a push of a button on your phone can open, close, or move your window treatments,” says Scarrella. “We can set timers on our shades, just like we would with our interior lights, or we can ask Alexa to do it.”

7 Hire a professional. The designers agree: The best advice is to seek professional help from a company that specializes in window coverings, which should be in your remodeler’s Rolodex. “There’s only so much expertise you can have in anything. If you’re a home automation specialist, window treatments might be something you do, but it’s not your focus,” says Manthei. “Window coverings are our focus. We can bring a lot to the table with this specific product.

1950s

DESIGNER: DAVIS INTERIORS

The 1950s revolved around the timeless charm of pastel colors, with a prominent focus on shades of pink. Fruits, such as cherries, strawberries, and lemons, were popular design elements often found in wallpapers, clothing, and kitchen décor. Interiors from this decade proved cheerful and whimsical.

Jennifer Davis, founder and principal designer of Davis Interiors, shares her tips for creating a 1950s design with a contemporary twist. “One crucial aspect is the color palette, which should primarily consist of pastel hues accompanied by bold accents,” Davis shares. She also recommends opting for midcentury modern furniture with clean lines, selecting organic shapes and materials, and incorporating a classic checkered pattern for authenticity.

1960s

DESIGNER: STUDIO M INTERIORS

The 1960s were swinging and so were the interiors. Designs melded eye-catching patterns with subtle tones and natural textures. Homeowners wanted unique elements that were complemented by classic pieces, making a practical yet personalized space.

Melissa Hardin, interior designer at Studio M Interiors, urges a playful aesthetic when recreating a 1960s design. Try a fuzzy boucle fabric on a modern accent chair. Bring the outdoors inside by layering wild greens for a pop of life. Select tiles with an unusual texture or shape as a subtle accent. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to use multiple prints in one room.

1970s

DESIGNER: PLEKKENPOL BUILDERS, INC.

The 1970s were an iconic decade of saturated colors, tropical motifs, and strong geometric patterns. Dominated by yellows, rusts, peaches, and browns, a warm color palette influenced nearly every groovy design.

Bring a 1970s-inspired design to life with a bold wallpaper as your foundation. Tracy Loomis, designer and project manager with Plekkenpol Builders, suggests starting by anchoring a room with a few neutral solids, then adding flair with additional prints in textiles. And don’t forget the plentiful wood features for cabinetry, walls, or floors.

DESIGNER: MARTHA O'HARA INTERIORS

Homeowners and designers in the 1980s raved over pastels, playful geometric pieces, and plenty of florals. Mixed with glass block walls, mirrored closets, and colored bathroom suites, homes from the ‘80s were bright and brash.

Pastel a ents

To capture this aesthetic in a modern way, Krystal Kellerman, senior designer at Martha O’Hara Interiors, suggests earthy colors mixed with pastels. Adding in timeless base materials, such as marble tile and white oak, is the perfect foundation for your design. “Add playful touches with non-permanent elements like fabrics, geometric patterns, wicker furniture, and metallic accents,” shares Kellerman. Then, you’ll have a harmonious blend of past and present!

1990s

DESIGNER: CHE BELLA INTERIORS

The 1990s bring back memories of bright colors and bold patterns. Interior design trends centered around frills and fringe, wicker furniture, and brass and chrome accents. Deep shades of red, blue, or green were popular on the walls with fake plants or dried florals sprinkled around each room.

To modernize the 1990s aesthetic, Calie Pierce, a senior interior designer with Che Bella Interiors, recommends subtle prints, mixing in neutrals, and using thoughtful pops of saturated color for contrast. Pull from the playful colors and patterns of a traditional 1990s design but tone things down for a more cohesive look. Plus, don’t be afraid of thoughtful wallpaper features.

2000s

DESIGNER: AMEK, INC.

The 2000s brought a renewed focus on natural materials and soft design. Rich woods and natural-stone tiles were complemented with lighter backgrounds on the walls. Trendy colors of the era included sandy beiges, soft whites, chocolate browns, and deep blues.

To recreate a classic 2000s design with a modern twist, the designers at AMEK, Inc. suggests leaning into the earthy elements and color contrasts. Use lighter colors on the walls to provide a modern stage and let the richness of wood cabinets and floors take the stage. Style the space with complementary hardware and textiles that bring a splash of personality.

2010s

DESIGNER: CARBON 6 INTERIORS

The 2010s were a transition from dark wood tones and gray walls to a more minimalistic and high-contrast design. Lighter woods like white oak became increasingly popular to brighten up dark spaces. Matte black hardware and accents became all the rage to stand out against lighter floors and cabinetry. Here and there, you’d catch the occasional splash of chevron, herringbone, and ombre.

Pulling inspiration from those iconic elements, Lindsey Swanson, creative director with Carbon 6 Interiors, incorporates subtle callbacks in tile and texture then designing a modern take on the 2010s. Sticking to neutrals and classic textures helps create a timeless design where the magic lies in the details.

Ending Homelessness in Minnesota

PHOTOS BY NORDY PHOTOGRAPHY

The Housing First Minnesota Foundation is the charitable arm of Housing First Minnesota. Our vision is to end homelessness in Minnesota. Our mission is to partner to build safe housing for Minnesotans in need. Everyone deserves a safe space to call home.

In every project we undertake, we do so with wonderful partners by our side. he first partner is a service provider, who serves our clients directly through support and wraparound services. The second is a build partner – this is the builder or remodeler who provides access to and donates materials and labor at a significantly reduced cost. These partnerships allow our Foundation to do so much more than if we were taking on these projects alone.

This year, we have two major build projects, both providing transitional housing to those in need. Our first project is a partnership with service provider Avivo and builder Nor-Son Custom Builders. The Avivo project benefits mothers who are going through addiction counseling and treatment. By the end of 2023, we will have completed renovations for the 100-year-old apartment building in Minneapolis. After the renovation is complete, a mother and her children will move in and live there for approximately one year while the mother completes her treatment program. Once these final four units are complete, the entire 10-unit building will have been completely remodeled by the Foundation and our build partners!

Our second project is in partnership with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) and build partner Lennar. Our goal is that the words “homeless” and “veteran” are never seen together. In 2023, we will complete our 11th Housing for Heroes home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Each home provides transitional housing to veterans or veteran families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This year alone, we will be able to house an additional 30 people in our new Housing for Heroes homes.

At the Housing First Minnesota Foundation, we believe every individual has worth and human dignity and deserves the basic provision of shelter as a necessity of life. Every project is a step closer to ending homelessness in Minnesota.

This 100-year-old apartment is undergoing a complete top-to-bottom renovation. It will be home for a mother and her children while she receives recovery treatment and wraparound services.

Built For How You Live

At Marvin, we are driven to imagine and create better ways of living. With every window and door we make, we strive to bring more natural light and more fresh air into homes, and to create deeper connections to the natural world. Crafted with exceptional skill, our products deliver quality you can see, touch, and feel, beauty that brings joy, and performance that stands the test of time. We put people at the center of everything we do by designing for how people live and work and imagining new ways our products can contribute to happier and healthier homes.

Tour for a Cause

The Dream Homes on the Parade of Homes and Remodelers Showcase support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation’s work building safe housing for Minnesotans in need of shelter. Dream Homes are selected for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate design details, and the ability to inspire every visitor.

Over the years, thousands of people have toured the Dream

Homes, each paying an admission fee that supports the Foundation. Those that have toured the Dream Homes have helped raise over one million dollars for the Foundation! These funds go directly toward building or renovating housing for Minnesotans experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

In total, the Foundation has completed 62 community build projects with many more to come and has built and restored over

99,000 square feet of housing. Through fundraisers like our Dream Homes, we are able to take on larger build projects and help more Minnesotans in need.

Homelessness impacts the present as well as the future – that’s why the Foundation exists, to make that future better for the people in the communities we serve. So, thank you for touring the Dream Homes. Your donation is felt throughout the Twin Cities!

Neighborly Property Group

Originally used as an art gallery for the previous owner, this remodeled home has a rich history. Notice the seamless fusion of contemporary design and classic elegance. Gone are the track lighting fixtures that once adorned the walls, replaced by an array of carefully placed light sources that illuminate the home’s refined features. Every system – from electrical to plumbing – has received comprehensive upgrades for optimal functionality and comfort.

The kitchen has been relocated, offering a spacious and well-equipped culinary haven, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and exquisite countertops.

Copious amounts of stone, marble, and other high-end finishes and fixtures have been incorporated throughout, elevating the aesthetics and adding a touch of opulence to each room.

Outside, a serene oasis awaits, where you can unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. Whether hosting a gathering on the patio or strolling through the landscaped gardens, the outdoor spaces of this home provide a tranquil retreat.

A modernist aerie nestled in the trees of Indian Hills has been given new life with an updated floor plan, natural materials, and crisp lines. Programmatically, a sense of progression and discovery is emphasized as spaces unfold from the point of entry. Un lled travertine climbs the walls of the kitchen. A high sheen, marble and dolomite, icy-blue butler’s pantry opens onto the pool and entertaining areas. Lighting draws the eye along axes and punctuates focal points. Materiality and surface create texture and play with light, reflection, and shadow. A variety of styles and references enliven spaces informed by the home’s modern aesthetic.

Crystal Kitchen & Bath

KITCHEN

This 1955 Edina kitchen was cramped and not very functional. In 1993, an addition was added, that included a dining and family room. The kitchen lacked storage, countertop space and needed new appliances. An underused dining room next to the kitchen from the original home was incorporated into the remodel to create one larger cohesive space. Walls were removed, a larger window added, one entryway to the addition was eliminated, and a large breakfast bar pass-through connects the kitchen to the addition. New appliances, wood flooring, white cabinetry, and quartz countertops turned this dated kitchen into a culinary delight for the homeowners.

New Spaces

KITCHEN, MAIN LEVEL

Bryce and Allison’s decision to remodel their kitchen was driven by their desire to break free from the monotony of honey oak and create a space that truly reflected their family’s needs and style. With the expertise of lead designer Jayme Lennon, the transformation of their 1987-built split-entry home in Burnsville was nothing short of extraordinary! By removing the partition wall that divided the kitchen from the family room, the possibilities for a new layout opened up. The combination of warm alder wood cabinet doors with bold black accents and light quartz countertops gave the space a sophisticated and inviting ambiance.

Sometimes you just know your 1995 home can be better for your family, but you need to partner with a trusted company to make the magic happen. That’s how the collaboration with Vujovich Design Build began. With key updates to the exterior, kitchen and pantry, laundry, and added mudroom plus a new upper-level junior suite, this Stillwater remodel is bringing an energetic boost to this home’s modern livability. Our design + build team invites you to stop by to see the details and to learn why remodeling rather than moving can be the perfect solution to creating your own dream house!

KITCHEN, MAIN LEVEL

The owner of this 2000s home was ready to move from the once-popular cherry cabinets and maple trim and floors to a more modern, clean look. Primarily working within the KT footprint we improved functionality by extending the KT into the DR and adding banquette seating allowing for entertainment and window seating to look out at the yard. We opened a partial wall between KT and GR to allow for better circulation, co ee bar, and accent wall. White oak floors and cabinets add a clean, refreshing look. Cambria island with waterfall edge and Cambria backsplash with matte black hood are stunning. Updated ML w/new stair parts, flooring, lighting, and paint.

BATHROOM, BEDROOM, LOWER LEVEL

Years of weekend warriors and di erent owners’ hands had left this lower level unsafe and a pure mess. GNB was hired to design a space that was rustic, but still modern. A place for entertaining guests, especially in the summer. With a walkout basement to the pool and a view of the pond, this lower level was the perfect palette to check all the boxes. Bedroom for a growing teen, fresh new bathroom, fun bar space, and a cozy replace room to watch movies. Boasting reclaimed beams, posts, and ceilings, the space o ers a rustic throwback. Modern details make the space inviting and new. See the amazing detail and craftsmanship behind this project!

Don’t miss a stop at this remodeled kitchen! What began as a closed-o kitchen with dark oak accents is now a bright & updated space characterized by hints of Scandinavian-inspired blue. White cabinetry and light grey subway tile extend to the ceiling, adding height and light to the space. Meanwhile, a blue island and hutch playfully complement a varied blue glass mosaic tile behind the range. White quartz countertops top the cabinetry and a new island with ample breakfast seating. Floating reclaimed shelves, textured glass pendant lights & re nished light natural wood flooring complete the space. A perfect balance of not too much or too little!
