It was a very busy week at Edit Design Build Studio. We started a new addition in South Minneapolis and broke ground on a kitchen renovation in Roseville. Here are some photos and renderings from the kitchen project. It's shaping up to be another fun project!

Earlier this week we discovered a little piece of history during a remodel addition in South Minneapolis! While excavating the property, we came across this collection of old bottles, each one a small time capsule. From amber apothecary-style glass to embossed containers and hand-blown shapes, these likely date back decades. It’s small moments like this that remind us that every home has its own unique past.

Week 1. We are adding an addition to this sweet south Mpls home. It starts with a very big hole and a whole lot of block work! A lot can happen in just 4 days!

Not all oak cabinets are created equal, and the difference is in the grain.

Plain-sawn (often called “plain”) oak features large, dramatic cathedrals in the grain. It has a bold and traditional look that makes a strong statement. It’s especially popular in classic and traditional kitchens.

Standard oak (quarter sawn) has tighter, more frequent cathedrals than plain-sawn, creating a bit more movement while still maintaining that familiar character.

Rift white oak is where things shift into luxury territory. Instead of cathedrals, the grain reads as soft, linear texture. It’s clean, refined, and timeless. This also includes variations like rift-sawn and quarter-sawn white oak, which offers even more consistency and subtle patterning.

When choosing oak, it isn’t just about color. You also want to consider things like grain, movement, and the feeling you want your space to have. The right oak can completely change the tone of your kitchen.
