2 | August 30, 2018 | 22nd century media home improvement 22ndCenturyMedia.com Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath serves as one-stop shop Their name may be Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath, but they do a lot more than just that. The picture in their ad is part of a large remodel. This remodel involved removing walls and installing new exposed support beams to give the area an open plan perfect for everyday life and entertaining. The walls between the kitchen and the family’s existing mudroom/laundry room were removed to expand the size of the kitchen. On one side, where the washer and dryer used to be, they now have a coffee/wine center with an under-counter refrigerator. On the other wall in this room is a large custom boot bench for convenient storage. The cabinetry that was chosen is from Bertch Kitchen and is made here in the Midwest. The darker wood base cabinets and white upper cabinets give the room an updated transitional look. The upper cabinets were taken to the ceiling with custom crown moulding. White quartz countertops and a white farm sink pull the look together. With a wave of the hand, the Moen motion activated faucet turns on and off. The island serves as a place to gather as well as offering additional storage. Back splash tile and a custom piece above the stove provide additional interest. The existing powder room was converted into a new walkin pantry with a barn door. The laundry room was made more convenient by moving it to the second floor into an unused space near the master bedroom. Making a vision become a reality is what the employees at Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath do, and they have been doing it successfully for 14 years. Their showroom is one of the largest in the south suburbs with a wide assortment of bath displays, two Bain therapy tubs, full-size kitchen displays and a fully functioning kitchen. All of our cabinetry is made in the USA with something for every budget. They are a preferred provider of quartz countertops and also offer wood flooring, tile, faucets, sinks and hardware to complete your project. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, they can design your new space and offer guidance to help make your project flow smoothly. For eight years in a row, their customers have voted for them as the “Best Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Business in the Southland.” That speaks volumes. With everything you need under one roof, Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath is truly a one stop shop. They can coordinate every aspect of a job to make it a smooth transition from old to new.

Transform your home into an entertaining haven this summer StatePoint Media In warm weather, everything is better done outdoors — from eating meals to entertaining guests. In fact, 88 percent of homeowners taking on landscaping projects upgrade outdoor living elements, such as furniture and heating features, to make spending time outside more comfortable, according to the Houzz 2018 Landscaping Survey. To embrace the trend, consider the following. Add ‘living room’ touches Create a flawless outdoor retreat with comfortable lounge chairs and all-weather sectionals that look like they belong inside. Go all out with color and bold furnishings — shades of magenta and teal go perfectly with nature’s green elements. However, if you prefer neutrals, up the design factor with bright planters and accent pieces, or hang vibrant tiled artwork that can withstand the elements. If you have an indoor patio or pergola, hanging decorative curtains provide style, shade and privacy. Finalize the space with cushioned floor seats and activities, like board games and books, for the ultimate entertaining destination. Include a beverage station Have refreshments nearby with fun serving ware and a bar cart stocked with cocktail fixings — ice, lemons, olives, water and soda — along with fruit juices and colorful sugar to rim glasses, so even the children can get in on the merriment. Add pretty patterned glassware, umbrella stir sticks and a cocktail shaker to get the party started. Refresh common areas Guests will access your home’s entryway and powder room. Spruce up these spaces with a fresh coat of paint or by simply repainting the trim a crisp white. This can completely transform your home, making it look brighter and feel larger. With the right tools, you can pull off this impactful project with ease. One of the most important tools you’ll need is a premium painter’s tape, like FrogTape brand painter’s tape, to protect walls and floors. Treated with PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape can be used on a variety of surfaces to deliver the sharpest paint lines for professionallooking results, allowing you to get the job done faster and eliminating the need for touchups, which means more time spent outside. To bring the elements of summer into your home, include accents like colorful throw rugs, fresh flowers and greenery. Go green Create a peaceful sanctuary outdoors with fresh flowers and greenery. If you don’t have a green thumb, display low-maintenance verbena, lavender and decorative grasses in attractive pots. If you have minimal space, opt for a wallmounted garden to add life and texture without creating a footprint. One easy way to do this is to repurpose an old wooden ladder and secure it to a wall. Succulents and herbs are easy to tend to and kids will love having a summer project to upkeep. Plus, nothing will impress guests more than clipping fresh herbs during your next cookout.
