Project Summary 

This Eagan couple liked what they saw at our recent Remodelers Showcase home and decided now was the time to make a big change. After all, as one of them put it, it's not getting any cheaper! Unfortunately, that is true. Waiting has never been a sound strategy for cost or enjoyment. In this particular remodel, we worked with them to remove a wall obstructing light and access to the kitchen. Replaced the flooring, and cabinets and added a larger island. Now they can entertain and conduct family holiday celebrations with style and ease!

Who knew removing a wall could have such an incredible impact on everything?  This couple explains that impact and how we helped them make key decisions along the way.

BEFORE: Removing this kitchen wall separating the "coat storage room" commonly called the unused living room, from the kitchen.
AFTER: With the wall removed light pours in from the former living room area, bathing the kitchen with light and warmth.
BEFORE: Views of kitchen cabinet layout and appliance location
AFTER: New larger kitchen island and view to windows over the sink. Note the new venting hood where once was a microwave.
AFTER: Note backslash tile accent and stain-matching hood.
BEFORE: Family room honey oak bookshelves and fireplace surround.
AFTER: Left, built-in microwave and beverage center, Right, re-finished bookshelves and new dry-stack fireplace surround.
