A masculine space for entertaining with familiar features of a “man cave” is rendered in highly sophisticated materials and details. Bleached walnut and weathered wood furniture add warmth, while blackened steel construction and spill-proof Marmoleum flooring speak to the darkness of the TV’s on the media wall. Cork flooring delineates a bar area from the rest of the room and is a reference to the beverage of choice. A new men’s room is conveniently located nearby. Photo by David Duncan Livingston

Living room - transitional living room idea in Chicago

The request from my client for this kitchen remodel was to imbue the room with a rustic farmhouse feeling, but without the usual tropes or kitsch. What resulted is a beautiful mix of refined and rural. To begin, we laid down a stunning silver travertine floor in a Versailles pattern and used the color palette to inform the rest of the space. The bleached silvery wood of the island and the cream cabinetry compliment the flooring. Of course the stainless steel appliances continue the palette, as do the porcelain backsplash tiles made to look like rusted or aged metal. The deep bowl farmhouse sink and faucet that looks like it is from a bygone era give the kitchen a sense of permanence and a connection to the past without veering into theme-park design.

A combination of organic inspiration, midcentury pieces and mixed metals keeps the entry exciting, fresh and sets the tone for the home. A furry bench with tapered legs and a soft vintage rug invites anyone to sit down, take off your shoes and explore the rest of the home. Summer Thornton Design, Inc.

While the layout was functional, the kitchen lacked proper storage. Dated bleached oak cabinets and laminate tops were replaced by shaker style cabinets in a soft white and a quartz countertop in Cambria's "Brittanica". Porcelain flooring in an up-to-date rectangular format form the foundation for this light and bright kitchen.
