Rooms to Love: Prairie Style Meets Modern Convenience

back to index back to Rooms to Love



Prairie-style craftsmanship and modern convenience transform the kitchen of a 1915 Minneapolis house.

Homeowners Skip and Michelle Liepke wanted a modern kitchen that fit in with the style of the house. To Skip, that meant "a warm color scheme, some art glass, a lot of woodwork, and a lot of rectilinear design."

- Joe Metzler,
architect
