It’s almost time for the final weekend of the Spring Parade of Homes…and you know what that means! The Remodelers Showcase will be open this weekend (April 5-7) only. Tour 40 newly remodeled homes scattered all across the Twin Cities. Plus, meet the talented teams behind the wow-worthy transformations. Remodeled homes are open this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12-6pm. From main level makeovers to stunning kitchen and bath transformations, the Remodelers Showcase can help you get inspired for your next home project.
Non-functioning appliances, an awkward and tight layout, and arches straight out of the ’80s created a love-it-or-list-it situation for Crystal Kitchen & Bath’s Plymouth clients. This main level was transformed into an entertainer’s dream with a chef’s kiss of a kitchen. With widened entrances, walls removed, streaming natural light, and a strong dose of Scandifornian design style favored by the clients, this transformation is one to remember.
This 1990 built home didn’t serve all members of the family equally due to tight traffic patterns, various floor heights and closed-in sight lines. Existing issues were cleaned up with bearing wall modifications, removing the sunken floor and building to a better design to the surrounding spaces. Additionally, new windows and doors, an expanded kitchen and mudroom, and fresh finishes throughout were installed and now reflect the new beginnings that this home now provides. You won’t want to miss this one!
This lake home underwent a transformation as the homeowners downsized, aiming to revitalize the outdated space by expanding the kitchen, opening up the living area, and adding a guest bath. The spacious, modern kitchen adorned with white cabinets and black countertops became a dream space for entertaining loved ones. The highlight? A stunning sunroom offering unbeatable views of the lake, destined for endless summer sunsets. However, the unique personal touch came with the custom library—a tranquil spot where the homeowners can enjoy serene afternoons while overlooking the picturesque lake adding a distinctive charm to their home.
By removing a couple of walls and shifting the kitchen, this homeowner’s space is now wide open for interacting with family and friends. Come see how this new floor plan boosted by rich maroon and gold accents, reeded vent hood for a 48-inch range, geometric shapes, and a midcentury contemporary blend makes daily family life so much smoother and calmer.
This entire 1940s home was transformed by removing walls and opening up the living spaces. A previously congested kitchen now features large windows that overlook the creek and a walkout deck. The basement is now updated to feature a comfortable office/guest bedroom, new bathroom, media room, and a walkout to their large backyard. This remodel project also added a small addition upstairs that allowed for a convenient laundry room space. This home now is bright, warm, and full of personality.

Lisa and Eric have lived in their traditional Colonial home in Minnetonka for over a decade, but the segmented layout felt dated. They dreamt of a sun-drenched kitchen and a warm, inviting space to make lasting memories with their family — so they made their dreams a reality.
