As with many residents of the Armitage neighborhood in South Minneapolis, the owners of this 1940-built Tudor home love where they live. So much so, they were willing to commit to a large, whole-house remodel in order to stay put. Castle worked diligently with these homeowners to help them realize their ultimate goals for their home. By redesigning the first-floor layout, Castle was able to create a much more open space. Walls previously separating the kitchen and dining room were removed and replaced with more countertop space in the form of a seated peninsula. The kitchen was also updated with new granite countertops, more backsplash tile to match the existing, and partial new cabinetry by The Woodshop of Avon to match existing. New hardwood flooring was installed in the kitchen to match the existing dining room. The size of the dining room was then almost doubled by removing an adjacent first-floor bedroom. A new sunroom was added in the back which opened the space even further. Dixie Caress carpet in the color “Wisteria” was chosen for the sunroom and throughout the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor was given a total makeover with a large dormer addition and a master bedroom suite above the new sunroom. Corbels decorate the exterior while giving support to the overhanging floor of the master bedroom. Now with three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, there’s room for everyone, and a wonderful great room on the main floor to go with it.

This kitchen was a floor plan challenge. It's not limitingly small space, but having an outside corner within the kitchen footprint is just kind of odd. In addition, this kitchen had the most involved dropped ceiling we'd met... like a series of IKEA futon frames hanging up there. To ease off on the emphasis of the structural beams that fall kind of randomly in the space, we increased the horizontal fir accents.

An open kitchen design can feel vast and empty without a few personal touches with decor. The key to keeping it looking great all the time is clean clutter free countertops, and a few accessories to add some character.

The stepped arch motif is delightfully original to the house, and, along with the soft curves of the pendant lights and skulls, is a nice compliment to the rectilinear elements in the other hard surfaces.
