GILLMAN KITCHENS
The home market in the US shifted in a major way just over 5 years ago and the real estate and home market took a big hit. Companies either went out of business or they took a hard look at what they were doing and reinvented themselves. Gillman was one of those success stories that saw an opening in the market and took flight with the GILLMAN KITCHENS brand. Brad Gillman founded his own business 20 years ago designing and building high-end luxury homes all over Chicago. In his prime he was building a 3 million dollar home every month. When the shift in the economy occurred Brad had to change his business strategy and reinvent a business that had been successful for 20 years. A new consumer emerged globally from this shift and they were savvier and more budget minded than ever. They still wanted the designer look, but they wanted it at a more affordable price. Brad studied the market and the most common trend he noticed was that people were planning to stay longer in the homes they already lived in. Most of the homes built before the 90’s still either had very traditional, retro or just plain out-dated kitchens; which can really make a home look tired.
With all Brads experience in building designer homes with high price tagged kitchens, he brings a tremendous about of designer finishing expertise to the Gillman 20/20 Kitchen design. He scoured the market to find the best supplies, designs and fixtures to be able to deliver a true designer modernized look to the 20/20 collection.

To Rome With Love

If you want to have a secret love affair – head to Rome. There is probably no other city quite like it in the world – to love this city you have to embrace it all. From the food, to the clothing, cobble stone streets, crumbled old structures of history right in the heart of more modern times, is what makes this city a juxtaposition of eye candy and experience. Rome houses not only some of the finest works of sculpture in Italy, but many of the most important pieces of sculptural art in the entire Western world. Everywhere you turn, you are either walking on ancient stone streets, gazing at grand marble statues or getting lost in the plethora of cathedrals, museums and endless magical stone alleys of Rome. A visit to Rome is an essential prescription for loving life. Spending absolute countless hours doing nothing but sitting in a Roman piazza, eating a bowl of spaghetti and sipping on a glass of Chianti will lift any spirit.
The best way to truly enjoy this magical “Eternal City” is to put on a pair of comfortable walking shoes and stroll for hours on end till you get lost. For a quick tour of the city in true Italian style, wisp around on one of the many thousands of Vespa’s that buzz around the city 24/7. If you’ve been to Rome a thousand times, you would still never fully capture every bit of essence this city has to offer.
