Join the New Spaces team for a behind the scenes tour of this 1950's built home located in Hopkins, MN.
This project is an excellent example of how to work with the space you have, without removing walls or adding square footage to your kitchen. In this home, we utilized the existing layout of their classic galley kitchen to optimize function and workspace. Removing soffits allowed us to install cabinetry up to the ceiling, and we also gained additional cabinet and counter space by expanding into the previous informal dining area. An appliance package featuring a sleek built-in refrigerator as well as a panel-front dishwasher drawer are two examples of how the right appliances can help maximize inches in a smaller space. From the beautiful enameled cabinets, to maintenance-free quartz countertops, and classic subway tile backsplash, we hope you enjoy all the special details of this tour!
The remodel of the lower level of this home was especially fun because while the layout was mostly determined, it was ready for new finishes – top to bottom. As you enter this level, you are greeted by an architectural slat wall that is open and welcomes you into a cozy family room with a fireplace and vast windows offering spectacular backyard views. Other features of this lower level include a stunning bathroom, complete with a sauna, a crafting space, a guest bedroom, and a highly functional mud room – perfect for kicking off your boots after a morning in the garden. The original kitchen cabinets, countertop, sink and faucet were all salvaged and reused in this mud room space, adding to its charm.
