I actually worked on three of the remodels in this book.Nicely done and gives you a great feel for the area. Gorgeous book, amazing photography, great purchasefor those who live in the Minneapolis area especially! It's the coffee table book that gathers no dust as friends and family love to peruse it!. I paged through it before wrapping, and hated to give it up! The "timeline" ranges from older homes that have been purchased from previous owners and re-done to modernize the interiors and landscaping while keeping the historic nature of the home, to newer modern styles by prominent local architects and designers. The book is gorgeous, and evokes lots of "dreaming" of living in these lovely homes!. My son is an architect in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, and requested it as a Christmas gift
