The Many Shades of Green Remodeling

Transitional Kitchen, Minneapolis

The homeowners requested a green, transitional style remodel of their lower level that included a kitchenette. Wanting an eco-friendly countertop, the homeowner fell in love with the look of recycled glass countertops. The interior designer and the homeowner were able to select what percentage of each of the available colors of recycled glass they wanted for the countertop. They were also able to specify the base color for the top. It features a touchless bar faucet and a composite granite undermount sink. The custom, full-overlay European style cabinetry with Shaker style doors was fabricated using poplar hardwood with a dark walnut stain. The wood was sourced in the US – Midwest and Kentucky and is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified. The yellow paint color for the walls was inspired by the yellow color of glass found in the countertop. Unafraid of color, the homeowners’ choice of lively paint colors clearly shows there are many shades of green remodeling! The doorway on the left features a pocket door that leads into the hallway and a 3/4 bathroom. The doorway on the right leads to a spare bedroom.
