This home was purchased by a family who was displaced from their S Minneapolis home after a devastating house fire. Not wanting to leave the neighborhood they’d grown to love, they went on the search for a new home they could grow to love. While house hunting, they discovered this 1940s bungalow in the Hale neighborhood that had both the charm and location they were looking for. The kitchen, though filled with character and many pieces still in their original state, would not meet their needs for family meals, entertaining friends, or keeping up with their busy lifestyle. They loved their home’s history but dreamed of a kitchen that could serve their family for years to come. That’s where 13th Avenue Interiors came in—to help them reimagine their space while preserving the charm they cherished.

Project Goals:

  • Honor the Home’s Character: Blend new features seamlessly with original architectural details.

  • Improve Functionality: Create an open, family-friendly layout with better flow.

  • Incorporate Modern Conveniences: Add storage, modern appliances, and durable finishes for busy family life.

  • Create a Gathering Space: Design an inviting area for cooking, dining, and entertaining.


Project Scope:

  • Layout Transformation: Removed a wall between the kitchen and dining room for an open-concept feel.

  • New Cabinetry: Installed cabinets that maximize storage with smart organization.

  • Hardworking Finishes: Used quartz countertops, lacquered brass hardware, and a large single basin sink.

  • Modern Upgrades: Modern appliances with integrated technology for ease of use.

  • Family-Friendly Features: Added a peninsula for weeknight dinging, homework and crafts.


Within a year of moving in this family is now enjoying a kitchen that preserves the homes history while serving their family’s modern needs. From morning coffee to weekend gatherings, their new space is as functional as it is beautiful.
