Inspiring Interiors Flip Edition

They wanted to advise on current color schemes, home trends, and what products and materials to use in their homes. I expanded Inspiring Interiors to offer not only design advice but a great selection of home products including semi-custom cabinetry, countertops, tile, furnishings, flooring, light fixtures,…

Generation Home: Timeless Tudor Kitchen Makeover
In 1936, Walter Kasper decided to build a two-story tudor on the banks of Budd Lake in Fairmont MN. Moving to town from Owatonna Walter brought a crew of European craftsmen that were working in the area, over to help bring his vision to life.

Countertop Options for Today’s Kitchens
by Deb Williamson If you’ve done any shopping for countertops lately, it won’t take long for you to realize that your options are endless.
