Finally, the LAST major project in our "Fixer Upper" is FINISHED! Our Bathroom Remodel | Elk River, MN is quite the transformation! Almost 7 years since we closed on the 1971 4-Level Split, we can proudly say EVERY part of this home has been remodeled, improved or replaced! Every project in this home has always been about maximizing our space, making the room functional for our growing family and showcasing my Husband and his Family's amazing craftsmanship and carpentry skills. I challenged my Husband to go above and beyond when designing our cabinetry and vanities.

Unique and timeless for everyday living our custom Otsego, MN rambler is an example of modern family living with a personal, custom touch.

It is hard to put into words the beauty within this picturesque Log Cabin nestled among the peaceful landscape of thick evergreen trees and 1,200 miles of shoreline on Lake Vermilion in Cook, Minnesota. Our Cabinets were crafted from Rustic Hickory which ties into the color and grain of the hand hewn pine logs. To accommodate the Log Ceiling Features, we designed staggered Upper Cabinets which additionally, could be used for top display pieces. This Peninsula Style Island has bar height seating and a large prep area facing out of the kitchen to entertain with ease.
