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.

Durable, Stylish Materials

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.
