Kitchens
Christen Anderson of Live Christen Joy took on this North Fargo Flip to prep it for the market. As with many flips, she took a big focus on the kitchen area and turned it into a crisp, white and luxurious focal point. Original cabinets were replaced with custom ones in a warm-toned white with polished nickel hardware. The oversized quartz-topped island really steals the show and makes for an ideal workspace.
