East Isles Kitchen

Custom Kitchen

Metropolis Construction built and installed these custom kitchen cabinets for a remodel of an early 20th century home in the East Isles neighborhood of Minneapolis. They are built of maple and feature inset doors and drawer fronts. The door panel style was copied from vintage cabinets in the dining room. The island was painted a different color to provide contrast with the rest of the cabinetry, and the counterop colors also change to highlight the island. Inside the cabinets are a number of space and time saving pull outs. Everything was custom fabricated around the appliances and layout of the room. Changing the cabinet layout meant moving the door into the vintage oak paneled dining room. New rail and stile wainscott paneling was fabricated and installed, as well as new door casing to match the original trim.
