North Kent Street

This St. Paul condo, originally built in 1885, had seen updates over the years that stripped away much of its original character. Our client wanted the main level reimagined in a way that honored the home’s history.

To do that, we introduced a new doorway with a transom window to define the dining and kitchen spaces, resized the front entry closet to open up views from the bay window, and fully gutted the kitchen and powder bathroom. The result is a warm, inviting layout that feels true to the era of the home.

The pink kitchen is the heart of the project, layered with thoughtful, eccentric details that give the space its cozy charm. Custom Mercury Mosaic tile was used on the kitchen floor, backsplash, and fireplace surround, adding an artisan feel throughout. Antique light fixtures were selected throughout the main level, reinforcing the home’s historic charm. All trim details were carefully historically matched, tying the entire main level back to the home’s original roots.
