European-Inspired Kitchen
Designed & Made was recently featured on the cover of the Home & Design issue of MSP Magazine.
This turn-of-the century home features a European-inspired kitchen with a butler pantry that houses appliances. The highlights of this kitchen include a contrasting center island, rift-sawn oak cabinets, and upper cabinets with paned glass doors.
This project was done in collaboration with Prospect Refuge Studio and Linne Renovations.
Moroccan Bathroom Remodel
Designed & Made had the opportunity to collaborate with interior designer Katherine Ma from Design Group M on this exquisite Moroccan-themed bathroom remodel in Bloomington, MN.
The bathroom features a custom vanity with patterned doors, a custom mirror surround with LED backlighting and a custom patterned Valence that frames the ceiling and reflects off the mirror. The design comes together beautifully through Katherine’s choices of filigree light fixtures and accent pieces.

Luxury Home Remodeling Tour
Designed & Made is proud to be a part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Luxury Home Remodeling Tour.
This 1950’s mid-century rambler situated in St. Paul’s Highland Park neighborhood underwent a full remodel. Located at 2065 Upper St. Dennis Rd. the 6,300 square foot house offers custom cabinetry throughout.
Luxury Home Tour
Designed & Made was proud to have one of its projects recently featured front and center in the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s article, “What’s trending in the Kitchen?”.
Designed & Made was proud to be a part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Luxury Home Tour. The home located in Crocus Hill offers custom cabinetry, a custom entertainment center, butler’s pantry, master bathroom vanity and bar.
Located in St. Paul’s historic Crocus Hills neighborhood, the home fits in with the character of other homes on the street, designated a national historic district. There’s a strong sense of community here, and builder Detail Design + Build and designer Charlie Simmons of Charlie and Co. were sensitive to neighborhood concerns about history and aesthetics.
Historic details can be seen in the steeply pitched cross gable, stucco exterior, archway to the front door, and stacked brick wall landscaping, and inside, in the coffered ceiling, butler’s pantry, hooded hearth, hand-painted tiles, built-in cabinetry, and back covered porch, complete with hanging lanterns.
The 5,000-square-foot home has contemporary details, too, with art niches, a powder room with an art glass feature wall, a private balcony with southern exposure off the master suite, a four-story stair tower with cascading light fixtures adding drama and natural light, bedrooms connected with a Jack-and- Jill bath, a beautiful master suite, and a separate driveway path to the mudroom entrance. There are a few tech surprises in the home as well, with technology hidden in unexpected places—like the cabinet doors that open and close automatically with a soft push.
A lot of time was spent perfecting details and paying attention to craftsmanship for the perfect balance of form and function. The end result? A home that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but incredibly versatile— features that will never go out of style.
