Lake Harriet House

For nearly two decades, Ruth Johnson has been a constant in the life of this iconic modern home near Lake Harriet. In 2003, Ruth collaborated with the owners and architect Charles Stinson and Streeter Custom Builders to create the home. In 2017, the homeowners decided to sell the house, so Ruth gently refreshed the interiors with new finishes and the home sold within several months. When the new owners discovered that Ruth shared their passion for true modernism, they invited her to help them select a fresh, neutral color palette and a collection of classic Italian modern furnishings to make the house their own.
