Mahtomedi Home Remodel Nearing Completion – Final Finishes in Place!

Our Mahtomedi home renovation project near White Bear Lake, Minnesota is almost wrapped up, and it’s looking incredible! This 1920s cottage remodel has truly transformed from a tired fixer-upper into a warm, welcoming home full of character.

This week, the final floor finish was completed, giving the white oak hardwood floors a beautiful glow. Countertops and tile installation are done, and all plumbing fixtures are officially hooked up. We also tried a new product in the shower — Wetwall, which offers a clean, modern look without grout lines and comes at a great price point.

We’re just waiting on the decorative lighting, shower glass, and final HVAC work to finish up the main floor. Once complete, my youngest son Micah will move in and make this Mahtomedi cottage his home.

Next year, we’ll continue the renovation with updates to the upstairs bathroom and flooring, completing this full White Bear Lake area home restoration. It’s been a rewarding project, bringing new life to a historic home while preserving its original charm and character.
