The before and after of this Edina kitchen remodel could not be more striking. Originally built in the 1980s, the kitchen featured laminate cabinets and countertops and a style that didn’t align with the homeowner’s desired farmhouse aesthetic.

Creating an Open and Functional Layout

We began by removing the wall between the kitchen and an unused formal dining room, creating an open flow that connects the kitchen and dining area. This new layout enhances everyday family living and makes the space perfect for entertaining guests.

Key updates include:

Large Center Island: Ideal for food prep, casual dining, and additional seating
Expanded Cooking Area: More wall space allowed for a larger cooktop and double wall ovens
Indoor-Outdoor Connection: A picture window was replaced with a sliding patio door, providing direct access from the kitchen to the backyard. Previously, access was only through the adjacent mud/laundry room.

The result is a bright, functional, and stylish farmhouse kitchen that supports both daily life and gatherings, while maximizing light, flow, and usability.

Creating a Kitchen That Reflects Style and Function

The original space was dark, dated, and completely disconnected from the homeowner’s style and the furnishings in the rest of the home. Everything about it needed a transformation.

Style Goals for the Remodel

The goal for this Edina kitchen remodel was to create a space that felt:

Light and bright
Modern and timeless
Warm with rustic touches

We achieved this by combining:

Classic shaker-style cabinetry in a crisp white finish
Rustic wood accents and iron fixtures and hardware for character
Honed gray quartz countertops for a clean, modern look
Classic white tile backsplash to keep the space bright and cohesive

The result is a kitchen that perfectly reflects the homeowner’s style while meeting all functional needs for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living.
