Our Favorite Moments of 2025: Twin Cities Home Remodeling & Design Inspiration
As the year nears its end, we find ourselves reflecting on the moments that made 2025 truly special. It was a year filled with meaningful collaborations and inspired design. From reimagined whole-home remodels to stunning primary suites, our Twin Cities Che Bella Interiors interior design + remodeling team poured care and creativity into every step. We’re excited to share a few of our favorite highlights that remind us why we love what we do. Step with us into the moments that shaped 2025 and the designs that continue to bring joy long after installation day.
A Home Show Kickoff
We started the year at the home of the Vikings, sharing our love of design and remodeling with home improvement fans at the Minneapolis Home + Remodeling Show. What an incredible few days meeting so many homeowners!
From the home of the Vikings to homes across the Twin Cities, what a way to launch the year at the Minneapolis Home + Remodeling Show.
A Nod from Houzz
We’re proud to share that our work continues to be recognized by Houzz, a go-to resource for homeowners and design professionals alike. Our projects were featured in many Houzz articles this year, along with other notable awards and shout-outs. We’re grateful to see our designs resonating with the Houzz community year after year.
Here’s to another year earning a 2025 Best of Houzz Design and Service Award. The Refined project was a winner for Best of Houzz 2025 US – Minneapolis (Basement).
Artisan Home Tour – A Duplex That Stole the Show
One of our standout moments of 2025 was seeing our picturesque duplex remodel in Minneapolis’ Tangletown neighborhood showcased on the Artisan Home Tour this past June. Nestled along Minnehaha Creek, this thoughtfully reimagined home represented months of dedicated work by our team and sharing it with the public was a true highlight of the year.
Tangletown’s lower unit exudes classic old-world charm, with elegant arched doorways, gleaming hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light streaming in from every direction.
The upper unit is a true retreat, featuring a gorgeous living area, gourmet kitchen, and a one-of-a-kind owner’s suite.
Award Season Sparkled This Year
As the year moved on, awards season brought its own share of bright spots, with several of our projects earning recognition for their thoughtful design and the way they truly support the daily lives of the families who call them home. While it’s an honor to see our work celebrated, what matters most is knowing these spaces function beautifully and bring lasting joy long after the final reveal. Below is a look at the projects that stepped into the spotlight in 2025.
Our Everyday Ease bathroom remodel project took home a Housing First ROMA Award. This project holds a special place in our hearts as it was designed with Universal Design principles with both function and beauty in mind for a homeowner who uses a wheelchair.
The upper-unit kitchen in our Tangletown duplex project, nicknamed The Bradshaw, was honored with a Second-Place Award by NKBA Minnesota. The linear layout is a chef’s dream, offering ample prep space, striking cabinetry and limestone flooring.
Che Bella’s Vintage Charm bathroom remodel was recognized with a Gold RotY Award from NARI MN. In the new design, the original arched detail, replicated elsewhere in the home, is preserved. Nearby, a newly added recycled glass braided chevron floor tile plays against the curves of the arch.
Intentionally carrying an air of moodiness, this Luxury Boutique owner’s suite design captured a Silver RotY Award from NARI MN. The design, exceptionally balanced with luxurious detail, captures the essence of a dream boutique hotel longed for by our homeowners.
Looking Back on a Beautiful Year
As we look back on 2025, we see incredible transformations with design that support the way families truly live. Whether it was welcoming visitors into our Tangletown duplex during the Artisan Home Tour, celebrating award-winning projects this fall, or completing remodels that blended beauty with everyday function, this year showcased the many ways great design can elevate daily life.
At Che Bella Interiors Design + Remodeling, we approach every project with the goal of bringing remodeling to life to enhance the way homeowners live. Whether we’re guiding clients through space planning and material selection or creating personal spaces with custom furniture and furnishings, each project is shaped with care, collaboration, and a keen eye for detail. Our work spans dining and kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, lower-level remodels, home additions, full-home renovations and more! No matter the scope, our commitment remains the same: to create a home that is beautifully yours.
