Northway |⁠ Open-Concept Kitchen & Bath Remodel in St. Cloud, MN

A center wall removed for an open kitchen with a large island, plus two bathroom remodels.

About This Project

A full house remodel in St. Cloud that included extensive work on the mechanical and electrical systems. We removed the center wall to open the kitchen to the living area, which made room for a new, large island with seating. The kitchen pairs natural-stained red oak cabinetry with a contrasting painted island, stainless steel appliances, and a vertical offset subway tile backsplash. The main bathroom went from a single-sink to a double-sink vanity, and the lower level bathroom was gutted to the studs with a new fixture layout for more space. One of our own project houses. Valerie designed it. Rick built it.
