Kitchen of the Day
Who lives here: A young family of four
Location: St. Paul, Minnesota
Size: 267 square feet (about 25 square meters)
Designer: Shelly Lindstrom of Fluidesign Studio
This family bought the house, lived in it for a few years and then rented it out while they lived for a time in California. Before they moved back to Minnesota, they wanted their kitchen renovation completed. With just a few in-person design consultations, they worked with Lindstrom via Skype, conference call and lots of detailed emails.
“These clients are both very visual, and that made the long-distance design process a lot easier,” Lindstrom says. Although the house had been altered over the years (and at one point converted into a duplex), the remaining original details provided strong clues for the direction of the renovation. For example, original moldings in other parts of the home inspired details she used in the kitchen.
In addition to creating a period-appropriate look, she was able to fix an awkward entry, improve a truly frightening staircase, add a cozy eat-in area and even unearth an existing fireplace that had been hidden in the wall for years.
