Growing up, Ricky Brown always liked his neighborhood and his childhood home, a 1978-built Colonial in Edina. He went off to college in Maine but I knew I would come back to live in this area, he said.
Little did he know hed come back to live in the very same house.
He and his wife, Angela, first bought another house, a smaller one in St. Louis Park. But when Angela was pregnant with their second child, Griffin, now age 3, they realized they would soon need more space. And Angela, who works from home, needed a designated office.
Meanwhile, Rickys parents, who had raised four children in their 3,500-square-foot house, were thinking about downsizing. Before long, the Colonial was home to a new generation of Browns.
The sale was emotional selling the family home, said Angela. But at least it went to a member of the family.
Ricky and Angela liked a lot about the home, but they also wanted to make some significant changes.
There was a lot of space, but it wasnt laid out efficiently, Angela said. The kitchen, in particular, last updated in 1991, was awkwardly configured and short on storage.
So the Browns hired Vojovich Design Build after admiring their work on a similar home that was featured in Edina Magazine.
In addition to gutting and reconfiguring the kitchen, the Browns makeover included widening doorways, scraping popcorn ceilings, updating the front hall, closing the wall between the dining room and the kitchen to create an office, and freshening the family room with new lighting and built-ins.
His parents were supportive of the project. They would have remodeled if theyd stayed longer, Ricky said.

Swimming pool builder opens new office in Fox River Valley region of Wisconsin
When Barak and Carrie Steenlage were newlyweds house-hunting in 2011, they fell in love with a 1939 Cape Cod in St. Louis Park.
The house wasnt perfect. But it had potential. We thought, It needs a little cosmetic work, said Carrie of the story-and-a-half home. But it has the bones of a good house.
Fairly soon after purchasing, Carrie and her mom painted the entire interior of the house. They had only recently finished that project, when the couple decided to tackle a much bigger one: remodeling the entire house. With plans to start a family, they knew they would soon need more space, and interest rates were attractively low. And Barak, who founded Anchor Builders in 2005 at the age of 23 with his brother John, had been renovating homes for years and was eager to work on a project for himself.
The tricky thing, and what would become the projects major challenge, was that the Steenlages wanted a two-story home with the feel of a story-and-a-half. It was important to them to maintain the footprint of the house and keep the character of the home in line with the rest of the neighborhood.
They didnt want a big house that towered over the neighbors, said Shelly Lindstrom, of Fluidesign Studio, the projects designer.
On the exterior, We wanted to make sure it didnt look like all roof.
Barak began a series of conversations with the subcontractor who was building the trusses. There was a lot of back and forth until I was able to get the trusses to look like I wanted, he said.
A front porch and a smaller gable over it, along with a dormer window and an arched portico, all helped break up the roofline.
The Steenlages also used a mixture of textures and materials on the exterior, such as shakes on the gables and two different sizes of siding.
Everything that can create contrast will just create more interest, said Lindstrom.
