Plymouth Eat-In Kitchen Remodel

Plymouth, MN

Feller Contracting completed this eat-in kitchen remodel in Plymouth, MN, transforming a late-1970s home with a dated layout into a modern, functional space designed for everyday living and entertaining. The renovation focused on improving ceiling height, storage, and flow while updating the kitchen with thoughtful design details and high-end finishes.

The Before

The original late-1970s kitchen featured bulky soffits, a dropped ceiling, and an oversized pantry closet that limited both storage efficiency and visual openness. Mechanical shafts and ductwork dominated the layout, making the space feel smaller and more closed off than necessary. The kitchen lacked cohesive design, adequate cabinetry, and the functional features expected in a modern home.

The Plan

The goal of this kitchen remodel was to maximize ceiling height, streamline mechanical systems, and create a more open and visually appealing space without sacrificing functionality.

Feller Contracting:

  • Removed all soffits and the drop ceiling
  • Reduced mechanical shafts and ductwork to the smallest possible footprint
  • Eliminated the existing pantry closet to reclaim floor space
  • Designed full-height upper cabinetry for a clean, built-in look
  • Integrated open shelving to highlight a full-height tiled feature wall
  • Wrapped the refrigerator with custom cabinetry and a pull-out pantry

The layout was carefully planned to balance modern design with practical storage and workflow.

The Result

The completed Plymouth kitchen remodel delivers a bright, open eat-in kitchen with clean lines, improved ceiling height, and highly functional storage solutions. Full-height cabinetry and a tiled feature wall create a cohesive, custom look, while open shelving adds warmth and visual interest.

Key features include:

  • Wrapped refrigerator with custom cabinetry
  • Pull-out pantry for organized storage
  • Pull-out trash conveniently located next to the dishwasher
  • Full-height upper cabinets for maximum storage
  • Open shelving integrated into a full tile wall

The result is a modern, highly usable kitchen that feels larger, lighter, and more connected to the rest of the home.

Final Outcome

This project showcases Feller Contracting’s ability to modernize older homes through smart design, efficient mechanical planning, and custom cabinetry solutions. By eliminating visual clutter and maximizing vertical space, this late-1970s kitchen was transformed into a timeless, functional gathering space.
