Kitchen of Art & Craft

Part of a whole-house renovation and addition to a 1905 house, this kitchen is in deephaven, minnesota, on lake minnetonka.

The kitchen had been the worst thing in an otherwise handsome house. It was compact, had suffered a 1980s renovation, and was situated “inland” at the back of the house, away from the lake. Designed for servants, the old kitchen was isolated from main rooms. When she remodeled, Barbara, who is a landscape architect, wanted a kitchen to accommodate large parties, multiple cooks, and ample seating, yet be intimate for her own day-to-day use. The kitchen design is beautifully expressed within period-style cabinetry, glass, and finishes. Many of the decorative details for the kitchen were designed by David Heide Design Studio.
