Designer’s Own Custom Home on Lake Minnetonka

Lindberg’s office is also on the first floor, just off the foyer. Petite and pretty, it has a built-in white oak desk with upper cabinets painted a warm greenish-gray.

Once again, the light fixtures are standout design elements, especially the antiqued brass star suspended from the ceiling.

Among the invisible special features in the office — as well as in most rooms throughout the house — is sound insulation in the walls and between the ceilings and floors. “When you’ve got your loud subwoofers playing your movies in the basement, [you] can knock down the sound by over 50%,” Thompson says. “It’s almost like not having anybody down there.”
