Chicagoland Home Products makes entertaining easier for this Chicagoland homeowner. Friends and family applaud this full wall built-in custom entertainment center. You will be able to take a few bows when you look beyond the local furniture store, collaborate with CHP and build exactly the custom storage solution you need to fit your space, instead of searching for something that never quite works with the area you have. CHP will incorporate your ideas, with their expertise, to deliver a custom built-in design that will debut on schedule and on budget. The star of this entertainment area is the large screen TV, recessed between nearly two dozen shelves and supported by a cast of drawers and doored cabinets. White, with shaker fronts, provides continuity for the face of this project. Large, square, brushed chrome handles keep everything clean across the entire wall. Crown and base moldings provide the bling for show time. Drawers are handy just below the monitor. Frosted glass inserts, below the recessed area, provide cool class to the whole design. Behind the scenes of this entertainment center are options for A/V equipment, receivers and accessories.

This space is perfect for entertaining! When the owners originally moved in, this deck was not here. There were several steps down from the kitchen door, and the stone slabs were a toe-stubbing minefield. We added the deck and designed it perfectly for entertaining. Since we had several large pine trees removed from the property, we increased sun exposure creating a need for more shade. We had this awning custom made by PJ Canvas in Santa Rosa, CA. The awning tucks neatly under the roof of the house during the rainy months.

Inspiration for a timeless backyard tile patio remodel in San Francisco with a gazebo and a pergola

This freestanding covered patio with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace is the perfect retreat! Just a few steps away from the home, this covered patio is about 500 square feet. The homeowner had an existing structure they wanted replaced. This new one has a custom built wood burning fireplace with an outdoor kitchen and is a great area for entertaining. The flooring is a travertine tile in a Versailles pattern over a concrete patio. The outdoor kitchen has an L-shaped counter with plenty of space for prepping and serving meals as well as space for dining. The fascia is stone and the countertops are granite. The wood-burning fireplace is constructed of the same stone and has a ledgestone hearth and cedar mantle. What a perfect place to cozy up and enjoy a cool evening outside. The structure has cedar columns and beams. The vaulted ceiling is stained tongue and groove and really gives the space a very open feel. Special details include the cedar braces under the bar top counter, carriage lights on the columns and directional lights along the sides of the ceiling. Click Photography

The infinity swimming pool is the centerpiece of this dramatic yard. The upper and lower travertine patios give depth to the entertaining space. The retaining walls double as a garden bed to bring color into the yard. The fire bowls on either side of the pool light add to the ambiance for evening entertaining.
