maple park drive kitchen renovation

The owners of this Mendota Heights split-level home envisioned a light and airy, open kitchen with clean lines and natural wood, inspired by Scandinavian design. We completely gutted the kitchen, took down walls to open the space to the living and dining room, scraped the ceilings smooth, and replaced a window to the backyard with a larger one, bringing in more natural light. New oak floorboards were laid in the kitchen to match the existing flooring in the living and dining room, and the entire floor was sanded down and refinished in a near-matte sheen. Euro-style flat panel cabinets, an elegant quartz countertop with subtle veining and open open shelving along the back wall add a clean, modern finish.
