4 INSPIRED INTERIORS
BELOW: This home underwent such a renovation that Fred Nordahl Construction, Inc. took the entire roof off,
and Alexander Design Group designed an entire second story add-on. This meant that I got to start the modern
farmhouse kitchen entirely f rom scratch, so I put in black-trimmed windows to really make the white materials
pop and show off the lake views. A built-in breakfast banquette, Cambria countertops, custom inset cabinetry,
and high-end appliances are supported by a butler's pantry and three-season attached porch. The nickel gap
ceiling and four-inch white oak flooring recede to let the handmade mosaic backsplash in Carrara and Calacatta
marble shine.
