Pillsbury Apartment

This 3rd-floor apartment remodel in a 1903 Minneapolis home was full of challenges and charm. Originally the servants’ quarters, the space was reimagined by designer Sarah Hughes.

Along the way, we uncovered significant rot that required major structural repairs, plus a bathroom that was two inches out of level thanks to years of settling and some questionable past work. Once the structure was sound, we got to focus on what we do best — the craftsmanship. From the hand-made artisan tiles throughout to the intricate trim work and wallpaper detailing, every corner of this apartment boasts custom, thoughtful touches. Custom built-in storage was added throughout, with clever designs to maximize space and functionality. The result is a perfect blend of historic character and modern elegance, all crafted to last.
