MAKEOVER: A Tiny Minneapolis Kitchen

My hubby and I recently had the pleasure of taking on a kitchen redesign in Southwest Minneapolis. This tiny, dated, dark, Linden Hills kitchen really needed a face lift. Years of use, dogs and kids had taken it's toll on the cupboards and doors... and with limited storage space, we definitely had our work cut out for us!
Here's how it looked before:

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G antique dining table with hidden leaf - SOLD

I'm so excited to share my latest transformation with you! This dining table is so beautiful! It's one of those pieces that is hard to come by for it's amazing distinctive features. I wish they still made furniture like this. Thoughtfully. Every carving, every detail was so thought out.
 I came across it last year right before winter hit and wanted so badly to get started on it right away, but the garage gets too cold here in MN. Our winter ended up lasting a whopping 7. MONTHS. {yes, that's what I said} finally going out with a bang in May after 3 snowstorms in 3 weeks. YUCK. Why do I live here again?
Needless to say, I was SO excited when everything started melting and the garage warmed up! This was first on the list! I wish I could keep it! I know this piece will completely transform someone's dining room and I can't wait to see who ends up with it!

Custom chairs

Before.... not so pretty, huh?

Last year I finished a really cool chalkboard top pedestal table and posted it for sale. It wasn't long before this great couple, Tiffany and Craig, came along and snatched it up! They were building a home and knew that it would work well for their adorable family of 5.

Along with the table, they also hired me to finish 6 custom chairs to match.

They recently closed on their house and came by to pick everything up. I love how they all turned out!

Custom Orders & Interior Decorating

I wanted to share some new photos with you all of a Client's home that I've been working on! If you remember a few posts back, I mentioned doing a custom order for her living room transformation. I was able to take a quick 360 degree pic with my iphone... but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. So here are some great updated ones!

Enjoy, get inspired and let me know if I can help you with your home transformation!
