The
owners of this historic Minneapolis home felt their original kitchen
was cramped and outdated. Therefore, they wanted a
contemporary/transitional feeling space that would accommodate
frequent entertaining.
Confined within the existing footprint, an open-plan concept was developed to
unify the kitchen and family room. Stainless steel shelves spanning
between the sink island and walls, maintain the open design and
establish a visual link and interaction between the kitchen and
family room.
The original dining nook was converted into a butler pantry, now fully
equipped with a sink, dishwasher and icemaker. Full height sliding
doors enclose the space when necessary.
Island seating allows for simple mealtimes for this family of four. An
oversized stainless steel refrigerator, multi-function ovens, warming
drawer and downdraft cook top meet the demands of this Minneapolis
family for any occasion.

"The kids love our home and I
simply can't imagine how we lived here
before Michael Reel helped us make it truly
'ours' to fit our lifestyle. The new kitchen is great for both entertaining and everyday life, and we are just so happy with the overall look. With each remodeling project,
we love the home more and more!"
