The variation of gray color creates a cohesive vibe in these dining and living room areas and the floor to ceiling display shelf isn't the only entertaining aspect of the space. The bar is an easily accessible surface for serving food and drinks while guests take a closer look at your collection. And if you need to check in on the game, you can always flip on the TV, if you can find it... (HINT: It's disguised as a mirror) Photo Credit: Normandy Remodeling

Inspiration for a mid-sized transitional u-shaped ceramic tile and white floor eat-in kitchen remodel in Chicago with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, quartz countertops, white backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances, no island and white countertops

Combining modern with rustic was the end goal of these homeowners. Choosing gray barn siding to panel the wall, white leather sofas, and painting the ceiling rafters black give this room elegance and warmth. Using reclaimed wood to hide the two columns was the final piece of this rooms makeover.

Mr. and Mrs. Eades, the owners of this Chicago home, were inspired to build a Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen because of their love of cooking. “The grill became the center point for doing our outdoor kitchen,” Mr. Eades noted. After working long days, Mr. Eades and his wife, prefer to experiment with new recipes in the comfort of their own home. The Hybrid Fire Grill is the focal point of this compact outdoor kitchen. Weather-tight cabinetry was built into the masonry for storage, and an Artisan Fire Pizza Oven sits atop the countertop and allows the Eades’ to cook restaurant quality Neapolitan style pizzas in their own backyard.
