Lakeville Kitchen Remodel – Repaired & Updated

A warm, multi-purpose lower level designed for entertaining, relaxation, and long-term value.

Project Summary

Honey-Doers updated the kitchen of this home in Lakeville, MN with a modern aesthetic and improved utilization. Some of the replacements included a new faucet, customized cabinets, and vinyl flooring.

Kitchen Remodeler Analysis

The original layout of this kitchen, while spacious, wasn’t initially built for optimal functionality and visual appeal. There was a disjointed atmosphere that interrupted what could have been a cohesive flow from room to room. The kitchen did not provide adequate storage space and needed a facelift.

The Goal of the Kitchen Remodel

The general goal of this kitchen remodel was to achieve a new look and greater storage functionality. The client wanted to see the kitchen bar renovated, the areas brightened up, and the finishes updated.

• Add livable square footage for growing kids and overnight guests

• Create a media area with built-in storage and surround sound

• Include a half bath for convenience

• Maintain open sightlines while still offering room definition

Remodel

Approach

Custom Layout & Framing

• Framed an open living zone with distinct TV lounge and gaming space

• Created a half bathroom with privacy and future shower rough-in

• Added recessed alcoves for shelving and storage to reduce furniture needs

Durable, Stylish Materials

• Installed water-resistant luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout

• Used neutral color palette with warm wood accents for long-term appeal

• Installed sound-insulated ceilings and walls between floors

Built-Ins & Finishing Touches

• Designed and built a media wall with integrated cable/electrical routing

• Added dimmable lighting zones to support different room uses

• Painted and trimmed with premium materials for longevity

Our Lakeville remodeler used several different materials and products in this project. Among those included the following:

• Shaker Style Kitchen Cabinets & Hutch

• Pine barn door for a rustic environment

• Delta Velino Stainless Sink Faucet

• TrueCor Prime LVT Flooring

We removed and replaced the flooring and installed a new sink. We also updated the cabinetry finish for a more professional, clean appeal. The final product was a sleek, new kitchen with a cool atmosphere and warm, wood finish luxury floors.

Challenges of the Remodel

One challenge, in particular, that’s worth noting: uneven subflooring. Uneven floors in kitchens can be especially hazardous for homeowners and can affect home value. The subflooring was fixed by pouring the floor leveler prior to installing the new LVT flooring.
