In SSMS, create your INT column, and open the "Identity Specification" branch of it's properties. Set the "Identity Seed" value to 111 after you have specified "Is Identity" as "Yes"

You can use

XML

DBCC CHECKIDENT (<tablename>, RESEED, <newvalue>)

to set the field to whatever you want. For your example:

XML

DBCC CHECKIDENT (<tablename>, RESEED, 110)

Note that this will only affect new records. Already existing records will not be affected.
