After years of feeling embarrassed by their outdated home in Plymouth, Minnesota, Alicia and Craig Oberg finally decided to take action during the pandemic. The couple, who had long disliked the 1980s ranch house they purchased in 2013, enlisted the help of interior designer Anne McDonald to give their home a much-needed makeover.
With a budget of about $215 per square foot, the Obergs embarked on a comprehensive renovation project that included moving staircases, adding windows, refreshing the exterior, and completely revamping the interior decor. The result was a stunning transformation that not only reflected the couple’s aesthetic but also caught the attention of Target, who used their home as a photo-shoot location.
Now, the once-dreaded house has become a source of pride for the Obergs, who regularly host gatherings and enjoy showing off their newly renovated space. The project, which took over seven years to come to fruition, has not only improved the functionality of their home but has also brought them closer together as a family.
For the Obergs, the renovation was not just about updating their house but about creating a space that truly reflects who they are. And with the help of Anne McDonald and her father, Jim McDonald, they were able to achieve their dream home and turn their once-disliked house into a place they are proud to call their own.
