While you may see kitchens in a variety of styles and find them all beautiful in their own way, finding inspiration for your dream kitchen often requires sorting through many different considerations. From transitional to modern and every style in-between, these ideas can help you decide what suits your home while also fitting your personal tastes. Transitional Transitional style is a mix of traditional and modern furnishing. Blending the comfort and warmth of traditional design with the clean profiles and understated colors of the contemporary look. The result is often elegant, sleek spaces that radiate harmony. Taking advantage of this style offers creative freedom when looking to decorate your home with ease. Transitional styling is perfect when you like some characteristics of traditional style but enjoy the simplicity of contemporary. Why We Love This Style? Transitional style encompasses the best of both worlds and fits the style of many homes because of its versatile traits. Modern Modern design emphasizes clean lines and efficiency– with elements of contemporary, modern and industrial influences. Sleek is a collective term to describe modern design. Every element exudes crispness in shape, simplistic décor in generally muted color and fundamentals in materials such as glass, metals, and wood. Open and airy modern kitchens. Colors are explored in soft tones with an accent or two taking center stage. Why We Love This Style? The modern style embraces simplicity, clean lines, technology and the bare minimum required to appropriately handle functional and aesthetic demands. Industrial With its raw, utilitarian appeal, an industrial design style can give modern homes a sophisticated edge. The main feature of industrial styling is the unfinished look that focuses on combining bare and rough surfaces with a clean and flat finish. Industrial style delights in the drama of opposing materials such as wrought iron accents, glass doors, and exposed brick. One of the most obvious traits of an industrial kitchen is open space and high ceilings. Why We Love This Style? Industrial kitchens edgy and elegant and make a huge statement when planned and executed properly. Mediterranean Rustic and warm – but with an edge – the Mediterranean design style blends harmoniously with an exotic feel. Mediterranean styling is characterized by wrought iron, exposed wood beams, multi-colored cabinetry and a mix of metals providing its unique flare. To tie it all together it calls for pleasant, cozy and comfortable earthy shades and natural wood and stone hues. Color palettes may vary from darker shades of brown to whitewashed tones of neutral colors. Common accent colors of teal blues and greens reflect the spectacular colors of the Mediterranean waters. The décor typically features hand-crafted, salvaged or repurposed items made of wood, leather, natural fibers, wicker, and wrought iron. Why We Love This Style? Mediterranean Kitchen style is warm, inviting and a stress free design. Whether your preferences fit perfectly into one category or a combination of several, the goal of creating your dream kitchen is to listen to what style speaks to you.

A New Take on Summer Barbecue Classics

Posted on August 1, 2019October 14, 2020Posted in How-To, RecipesTagged barbeque, BBQ, food, recipe, summerNo Comments

Burgers have earned a spot in the backyard barbecue hall of fame, no doubt, but if you’re looking for a different type of barbecue, add some finesse to your menu with these recipes. Set up a DIY bar. Let guests flex their creative culinary muscles and curb their cravings with a selection of toppings. Offer a variety of proteins, plenty of veggies, fresh or dry herbs, seasonings and a selection of cheeses so everyone can make a personal masterpiece. Ingredients can quickly dry out on the grill, so be sure to include dressings like pesto, hummus or herb-infused olive oil. Re-imagine favorites off the grill. A sizzling steak sprinkled with blue cheese is a classic barbecue choice, but try serving it on grilled flatbread for a new menu option that is sure to delight. To make a Steak and Blue Cheese Flatbread, grill a flatbread for a few minutes and top with hummus and flank steak to add a bright flavor and mouthwatering texture to your dish. An option like Sabra Hummus is available in more than a dozen flavors to complement your favorite dishes. Incorporate non-traditional ideas. While many backyard cookouts feature meat, veggies like corn, asparagus and mushrooms can add big flavors for those with different dietary restrictions. Choose your desired produce and grill until tender then add light seasoning for a fresh take on summer grilling with a dish such as this Vegan Garden Flatbread. Steak and Blue Cheese Flatbread Yield: 1 flatbread 1 flatbread, any variety 3 tablespoons Classic Hummus 1/2 cup fresh arugula, rinsed and dried 4 ounces thinly sliced, cooked flank steak 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese thinly sliced red onion (optional) salt, to taste pepper, to taste Heat grill (or oven) to 450 degrees; bake flatbread 3-5 minutes until it begins to crisp. Spread hummus onto flatbread. Layer arugula (reserving 3-4 leaves to garnish), steak and crumbled blue cheese. Top with onion, if desired. Place on grill, close lid and cook 3-5 minutes (if using oven, broil approximately 2 minutes). Add salt and pepper, to taste, before serving. Vegan Garden Flatbread Yield: 1 flatbread 1 flatbread, any variety 2 tablespoons basil pesto (prepared or homemade) 2 tablespoons Classic Hummus 3-4 white button mushrooms 2 tablespoons corn (fresh or frozen) 3 spears asparagus, cooked until just tender 1/4 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded olive oil red pepper flakes (optional) salt, to taste pepper, to taste Heat grill (or oven) to 450° F; bake flatbread 3-5 minutes until it begins to crisp. Spread pesto, followed by hummus, over flatbread then layer mushrooms, corn and asparagus. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place on grill, close lid and cook 3-5 minutes (if using oven, broil approximately 3 minutes). Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired. Add salt and pepper, to taste, before serving.

Summer is all about enjoying the warm weather with family and friends, but even with the longer summer days, the season can feel short for many. That’s why it’s important to make the most of summer by maximizing your fun in the sun with some of the best memories being made while entertaining al fresco and nothing brings people together like a barbecue. There seems to be something about being outdoors and the sizzle of fresh food on the grill that makes you want to gather with family and friends. For a fun-filled, yet relaxing barbecue, it’s important to keep the essentials on-hand for easy entertaining. From bright decor to refreshing drinks and fresh ingredients, party prep ensures you save time and money, and are always ready to wine and dine your guests. This summer, you can be the hero of your grill with a few simple tips and tricks: A great meal starts with great meat. Make sure to use versatile, high-quality and tender cuts. Cut down on time, not flavor. Look for pre-seasoned meats such as pork chops, or slice, dice or cube larger cuts like boneless loin to shorten cook time and increase flavor. Grill like a pro. Use direct heat for burgers and chops, and indirect heat for larger cuts like ribs.

Trending Upgrades for Functional Kitchen Style

The kitchen, or as we see it –the heart of the home is likely the center of daily life and a place where both form and function are of the utmost importance for passionate cooks, seasoned hosts and busy families alike. Colorful allure The kitchen has a significant influence on the rest of the house, especially if the home has more of an open-concept layout. If you are redesigning your home the kitchen is a good place to start. The colors and materials used in the kitchen can really set the tone for the rest of the home. The kitchen, or as we see it –the heart of the home is likely the center of daily life and a place where both form and function are of the utmost importance for passionate cooks, seasoned hosts and busy families alike. When it comes to considerations like finish and materials, kitchen cabinet trends are seeing a swing towards refreshing bold colors. Matte Everything Speaking of finishes … matte black entered the scene as a force to be reckoned. Whether you have a traditional, contemporary or modern design aesthetic, black cabinets, kitchen islands and back splashes are all pretty versatile. Leave the glossy finish behind in 2018 and opt instead for this cooler, more modern look. It’s chic and fashionable and it’s broken through the ultra “glam” vibe and added some much-needed modernity, even in more traditional spaces. Matte black is a trend we love to see stick around. Focus on Function A beautiful kitchen may please the eye, but when it comes down to it, a kitchen’s function is its greatest value. For 2019, kitchens will blend form and function. Technology will become increasingly present, helping to make day to day life a little easier. Integrate these ideas for a kitchen that offers a maximum function for one of your home’s most-used spaces. Declutter the counter tops. Consider incorporating pull-out and roll-out trays into your cabinetry to maximize your storage space, as well as dressing your cabinets with appropriate inserts and organizational kits. Eliminate wasted space by adding corner cabinets to utilize all your available space. Determine the island’s function. The island is often the visual centerpiece of the kitchen, but determining its function can maximize its benefit. Fully functional cabinetry around the island can provide added storage space. For example, custom cabinetry appliance panels let you not only conceal bulky appliances, but they also give your wall cabinets more space and functionality. Make recycling easy. Place the recycle and garbage bins in a drawer near the sink to allow for easier accessibility and keep them out of sight. A final note, before you take the leap into upgrading your kitchen ask yourself what your goals are, what’s missing from your current kitchen design, and what you’d like to see go? A well-thought-out project is a well-executed project, so take your time to properly plan.
