This project demonstrates the power of thoughtful, budget-conscious updates that maximize resale value. Working with original 20-year-old cabinetry, we transformed the kitchen by enameling the existing cabinets to achieve a fresh, modern look that perfectly captures Minneapolis's contemporary aesthetic. Rather than full replacement, this approach delivered a brand-new appearance at a fraction of the cost.

Client Goals: The homeowners were ready to invest strategically in their home's resale potential, having made no previous updates. We focused on high-impact improvements that would deliver the greatest return: new countertops and backsplash that created a high-end appearance, and a complete lighting refresh throughout the space.

Lighting Strategy: Beyond improving lumens, we addressed how lighting trends evolve over time. We selected statement pieces like a ring-style chandelier over the dining table—elements that feel current but can be easily updated by future owners, unlike more permanent features like wallpaper. Our focus on warm, comfortable lighting temperatures avoided the clinical feel of cooler tones, creating an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers.

Project Management: Working with remote clients through their trusted real estate agent, we managed every aspect of the renovation while maintaining clear communication and staying within budget parameters.

Services: Kitchen refresh, strategic lighting design, project management, pre-sale consultation

Result: A cost-effective transformation that positioned the home competitively in the market while delivering maximum return on the clients' investment.
