North Nokomis Kitchen - Hanson Remodeling

Before: A compact kitchen with no room to expand was desperately in need of a face lift and functional upgrades for more efficient use.

After: The fresh new look, along with smart cabinetry details and accessories, make big use of this South Minneapolis kitchen.

Marvin Windows resemble the original character of the 1920s home, with insulated glass for energy efficiency
Under-mount stainless steel sink with a single deep bowl for filling large pots
Kohler Bellera high-arc faucet with pull-down spray spout adds functional style
Badger 5XP food waste disposal is quiet as well as compact, to maximize under-sink storage
Task lighting was added in the form of under-cabinet lights, while the central ceiling light fixture was replaced for additional wattage and a splash of fun!
Fully custom cabinetry allows for every inch of space to be designed for efficiency
White cabinets keep the petite kitchen light and airy, while the dining room cabinets were skillfully stained to match the home’s original woodwork
Ceiling soffits have been removed to allow for taller upper cabinets, while lower cabinets are filled with drawers to ease accessibility
The narrow lower cabinet next to the range was fitted with a roll-out rack for full access to the once unusable space
Opalescence granite countertops are a classic, yet updated look with lasting durability
Solid oak flooring blends with the original dining room floors
Classic white ceramic subway tile backsplash for style and cleanliness
Stainless appliances and cabinet hardware add a subtle contemporary flare
Kitchen walls painted with Glidden Softest Juniper, and white cabinetry and trim painted in Sherwin Williams Extra White
