Kitchen Addition on Upton

Minneapolis

This thoughtful renovation of a 1919 craftsman home expertly balances historic character with modern functionality through a kitchen addition that transformed the heart of the home. The new space features a striking two-tone cabinet design that pairs rich, dark-stained base cabinets with sage green upper cabinetry, creating visual interest while maximizing storage. Clean white countertops and a classic subway tile backsplash provide a bright, timeless backdrop that complements both cabinet finishes.
 
The expanded kitchen layout now accommodates an oversized island with comfortable seating, perfect for casual dining and gathering. Professional-grade appliances, including double wall ovens and a gas cooktop, are seamlessly integrated into the design. A standout feature is the custom floor-to-ceiling display cabinet with glass doors, backed by whitewashed stone that adds texture and architectural interest while providing beautiful storage for glassware and collectibles.

 

The renovation extended beyond the kitchen to create a practical back entry space, addressing the homeowners’ need for better organization. This new area includes a built-in mudroom bench and a dedicated coat closet, providing essential storage for a busy household. Throughout the project, careful attention was paid to preserving and complementing the home’s craftsman heritage, evident in details like the exposed wooden beams and trim work that frame the transitions between spaces. Natural hardwood flooring unifies the addition with the existing home, creating a seamless flow that feels as though it has always been part of this century-old residence.
