1950’s Highland Park ramblers we love them, but they do not always show us the same love back. Cue GNB and the dream team to rework the kitchen into a modern, spacious, crisp, and clean gathering space for a growing family! The goal was a “true chef’s kitchen” when these clients sat with our design team. High-end appliances and finishes adorn the new space while keeping in step with the original style and vibe that the 1950’s original rambler offered. New lighting throughout, flooring, and a few more surprises make this Highland Park entry a must-stop on the tour.

The words “light and bright” were repeated constantly as the goal of this main-level project. Unfortunately, the home’s abundance of stained millwork, traditional stylings, and overly designed features did not match the homeowners’ clean and sleek style. The updated main level now features a more functional kitchen, a reworked mudroom layout, and a minimal, but impactful entertainment wall in the sunken family room. Additionally, stripping unnecessary millwork and adding a large kitchen window helped achieve their “light and bright” design goals. You will want to feel the lightness of this home for yourself!

While this 1993 home had some minimal upgrades, it was in need of a complete main-floor makeover. The current space was cramped and lacked storage. The new design removed the wall that separated the dining room from the kitchen and built a 9-foot-long island with seating for four, plus a wall of buffet cabinets, and a large pantry. Natural-finish walnut cabinets and a painted buffet nicely complement the engineered white oak flooring and the Cambria Halewood countertops. Other upgrades include a half-bath remodel, a new front door, interior doors, millwork, and railing at the entry.

Feast your eyes on what’s new for 2023! This expanded kitchen is home to an abundance of functional storage hacks, plus decorative details you haven’t seen before. The new kitchen is almost twice the size of the original without adding new square footage to the home. Straightening out a space-wasting angled wall, and borrowing some space from the adjacent laundry room, improved the layout, and we added loads of storage, a huge island, a focal point rangehood, and a “barmoire.” Statement light fixtures punctuate this one-of-a-kind design, and we also built in a unique painted-glass table for six.

Dave and Pam are empty nesters that have lived in their spacious 1981-built, multi-level home since 1988. The couple needed a new space that would reflect their modern style and needs yet didn’t want to move away from their current home and neighborhood. Like many New Space clients, Pam and Dave contacted New Spaces wanting to modify the layout of their home to make it flexible for their current lifestyle, and to enhance its functionality. Today, their dream of a home that fits their style, needs, and lifestyle is a reality. Dave and Pam often cook together in their beautiful new kitchen and enjoy having little ones running around safely.

This remodeled lakeside home was crafted by a designer to welcome her friends and family. The kitchen has rift-sawn, white oak cabinets—the island base is stained, and the remaining cabinets are painted white. French white oak floors adorn the main floor and stand up to lake life. A 10x5-foot island with seating is oriented to the lake, while a 22x14-foot great room addition completes the main floor. The owner’s bathroom and bedroom feature a tranquil vibe—a lovely escape to begin and end each day. The lower level lends itself to play, designed intentionally to be welcoming and shared by many, and includes a living space, bar, and playroom.

What began as a rarely used dining room and cramped kitchen is now a casually elegant space suitable for busy family life! If you’re dreaming of a kitchen island, you must see this remodel. Despite a narrow footprint, the new layout incorporates a 10-foot island with breakfast seating and ample storage. Granite countertops, pendant lights, counter-to-ceiling subway tile backsplash, double pantries, stainless steel appliances, and refinished wood floors complete the transformation. Light grey cabinetry beautifully pairs with a warm brown island. This remodel is a lovely example of how to seamlessly meld a new design with the rest of the home.

This main level and kitchen remodel showcases a fresh and modern design. Organic white oak cabinets and dramatic matte Cambria countertops bring a clean and modern vision into this space. The powder bath was relocated to what was once the mudroom closet to enlarge the kitchen and incorporate a center island.

This kitchen remodel and main-floor update removed the front entryway closet and the wall between the kitchen and dining room. We also swapped a patio door that was in the kitchen with a window in the dining room. As part of the remodel, we provided engineering expertise and added a beam to pick up load bearing. We provided cabinetry that was designed and built in our own millwork shop, along with quartz countertops. We also replaced the front entry door and its sidelights and updated the flooring throughout the common areas of the main floor. In the end, the homeowner ended up with an open, airy, and cleanly finished space.

This 1926 classic-period craftsman home is a “must see” on this year’s tour for anyone wondering what they could do with a kitchen in this style of home. With a brilliantly creative and simple space plan, the transformation added a cantilever addition and a critical 40-square-feet to the kitchen and dining room footprint. This innovative remodel showcases how a home of this vintage and size can easily become a forever home, while staying true to its original period and architectural details.

This South Minneapolis kitchen had previously been updated, but it still lacked storage and counter space. We remodeled this space by removing the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, replacing a beam, arching doorways to match existing ones, and reconfiguring the window and door locations. We designed, built, and finished this painted cabinetry in our own in-house millwork shop, and added wood-stained shelves throughout the design for enhanced warmth. We added a ton of storage, functional counter space, and updated finishes, including a finished-in-home hardwood floor, quartz countertops, and a tile backsplash.

For the homeowners, this South Minneapolis location was great, but the size of the existing home was no longer ideal. We designed and rebuilt the main level, added a full second level, and finished the majority of the basement. In total, the home’s finished space increased substantially, and the staircase was also moved to maximize the layout of the first-floor great room. The whole home remodel now includes three bedrooms plus an owner’s suite, and the bathrooms increased from two to four. Both a porch and a fireplace were added as featured and functional accents. All exteriors were also replaced to update the look and reduce maintenance.

This lovely, 1921 Lynhurst home suffered, as most homes of that era do, from a small kitchen and the absence of a proper mudroom. The steep lot and limited access were a challenge, but with some helical piers and a great design, it all came together! We put an addition off the back of the home, added a beam to carry the load, and connected the expanded kitchen to a new mudroom and a light-filled sitting room. New windows, an eat-in breakfast bar, custom locally crafted cabinets, and quartz surfaces make this remodel a magical transformation!
