In collaboration with architect David O’Brien Wagner of SALA Architects, Showcase Renovations reimagined this historic St. Paul home for modern living while preserving its original charm. The project included a full transformation of the exterior, as well as the back of the main floor into a combination kitchen, family room, and bath—plus the addition of a screened porch.
Removing the interior walls opened the once cramped footprint into a 16-by-27-foot gathering space ideal for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing as a family. Warm white cabinetry, whitewashed floors, and wood paneling strike a balance between bright and cozy, while structural updates like new white steel beams and columns mirror the historic box beams seen in the front of the house. Just off the family room, a set of double doors opens to the porch—elegantly connecting the interior and exterior spaces. And thanks to the skilled craftsmanship by Showcase Renovations’ carpenter, Kevin Toews, and highly detailed trade partners like Jon Thorson Finish Carpentry, the team was able to execute a refined, sustainable design.
