Reconfiguring Floorplans & Reimagining Design

The layout of an old home can often be a challenge, especially if the space feels cramped or closed off. Opening up the kitchen to the dining room improves the flow for living and entertaining! Remodeling your home to fit modern-day needs doesn’t need to sacrifice the home’s historic charm either.  A design that blends charm and modern design elements makes it feel original to the home. 

The kitchen of this 1906 home was isolated from the rest of the main floor, which was relatively open. Because there was another fireplace in the living room, we removed the fireplace and chimney to open up the floor plan and create room for an expansive island. The kitchen island has seating for the entire family, abundant storage, and a prep sink. Goodbye Fireplace, Hello Spacious →

Architectural details unify the entire first floor of this 1915 St. Paul home. The dining room was dark and wasn’t used very much. A larger opening makes a dramatic difference! Light from the kitchen spills into the dining room. A charming little hutch adds a bit of storage and character. In the kitchen, a cheerful redesign incorporates modern conveniences such as pullouts, open shelves, and a foldout corner cabinet. Bright and Joyful Kitchen →
