Mahtomedi Home Renovation Progress Update!

Exciting progress on my Mahtomedi home renovation project near White Bear Lake, Minnesota! This charming 1920s cottage remodel is really starting to take shape.

We recently installed two new structural headers — one over the old entryway and another between the kitchen and porch, opening up the layout and creating a more functional flow. A new kitchen window now floods the space with natural light, making the heart of the home feel bright and welcoming.

The back entry has been relocated to the porch, creating a defined entryway with added character. Inside, the bathroom, laundry, and closet are now fully framed in, setting the stage for the next phase of this Mahtomedi remodel.

To maximize the living room space, we moved the staircase to the porch area, giving the home a more open feel. Behind the walls, all HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work have been roughed in, and the meters moved to the exterior for improved efficiency and code compliance.

With insulation installed and drywall ready to go, this Minnesota home renovation is quickly moving toward the exciting finish stages. Stay tuned for more updates as this White Bear Lake cottage restoration continues to come to life!
