Project Summary
This Lino Lakes multi-level remodel involved main level kitchen updates with a dramatic basement transformation. The main floor kitchen had a 2-tierd island that was no longer functional or desired. The homeowner asked us to cut it back to a single level & replace the laminate top a with new Cambria surface. Those design changes were then reflected in a full basement remodel, featuring a new bath w/custom vanity, an entertainment wall with cultured stone fireplace, and built-in book shelves and TV cabinets. The new custom kitchenette provides support for a multi-use activity space—everything from TV, lounging by the fire, to ping-pong and piano sonatas.
Crown moulding, a mix of ceramic tile & carpet all
bathed in overhead and natural light from new egress windows gives this new
space functionality and sophistication.
