This Lake Josephine kitchen remodel in Arden Hills, Minnesota was designed for a pastry chef who wanted a kitchen that’s both practically efficient and joyfully playful. Practicality was non-negotiable, but monotony had no place here. Each day begins and ends in this vibrant kitchen, where organized workstations and playful design details come together in perfect harmony.

The layout brings youthful energy and workflow clarity through clearly defined zones:

• Coffee Bar – a morning essential.

• Chef’s Station – central hub for daily cooking.

• Pastry Island – a 10-foot rolling dream for baking.

• Cake Pantry – neat and always ready for action.

• Entertaining Bar – styled in peacock-like tones reminiscent of frosting.

• Sunny Side-Up Breakfast Room – tree-top views of the resident eagle, crowned by a wedding cake style chandelier.

With sprinklings of “lucky charm” color pops and whimsical elements, the kitchen keeps its focus and functionality for two, while remaining flexible enough to accommodate sous-chefs or full-scale entertaining.

A harmonious blend of personality and efficiency, because one is never too old to be tickled pink.
