This summer kitchen was built in a Summerwood by Pulte Homes in Bridgetown. The cabinet is 8’2″ long and we stayed a few inches away from the sliders. The cool thing about the Hestan components is they have a pattern on the doors and the grill hood stays put even if only opened partially.
The components included in this kitchen were:
- Under mount sink with high-arc faucet
- Heston 18” vertical door
- Tradewind 36” Hood
- Custom stainless stack chase
- Custom stainless 3D backsplash behind grill (36″ W x 36″ H x 1 1/4″ D)
- Hestan 30-Inch Built-In Propane Gas Grill W/ Rotisserie – Steeletto
- Hestan Grill Cover For 30-Inch Built-In Grill
- Hestan 30-Inch Propane Tank/Trash Drawer & Storage Cabinet Combo – Steeletto
- Aspire by Hestan 24-Inch 5.6 CU. Ft. Reversible Hinge Outdoor Rated Refrigerator with Lock
- Blaze outdoor fridge trim kit
The color choices are one of our favorites, the Silver Travertine stacked stone & the level 2 Blue Sapphire granite. The Blue Sapphire granite was popular several years ago and then it was hard to find for the last few years. It’s now back and we were so excited that it was available for this customer. And like always, there is nothing that finishes the look of the kitchen like the Silver Travertine stacked stone backsplash.
The pictures below show the start to finish from planning to completion.

Outdoor kitchen with Hestan components
This was an update to an outdoor kitchen that we had built several years ago. The homeowner decided they wanted to increase the functionality and beauty of the overall space. They had five objectives in mind: add a vent hood for that pesky smoke, replace the existing granite backsplash with a 3D stainless backsplash, install sconces, add a stacked stone backsplash along the wall and add a tongue and groove ceiling.
While we did not have an active role in the tongue and groove ceiling, we did put them in touch with a vendor who was able to coordinate their schedule with us and complete the project in a timely manner.
The before and after photos are shown below and what an incredible transformation. This homeowner transformed their lanai into a piece of artwork.

This was a kitchen with a handful of things that make this project memorable. One of the neatest parts about this project is not actually a feature of the kitchen, but it’s the reason why we are calling it the Trifecta. We can now say, that we have built a kitchen for all three of the siblings in one family. We appreciate that this family has continued to put their confidence in us time and time again. It feels like a big accomplishment and is humbling at the same time.
Some other notable features are that this kitchen has not one, but two grills. In addition to “Ole Trusty”, the Blaze 32″ LTE Series Grill, we built in the Memphis Pro Grill.
The mitered edge on the granite countertop makes it appear as though the countertop is 4″ thick.
The stainless 3D backsplashes were fabricated with a 4″ radius on the top corners. Typically our stainless backsplashes have square corners, but they are topped by a hood. We felt in the absence of a hood, the square corners would be a bit too stark, so we softened that look with the rounded corners.
And like always, the icing on the cake is the stacked stone backsplash from the top of the granite backsplash to ceiling height. The stone backsplash finishes a kitchen with a rich look in a way that nothing else can.
For the DIY’er, you can copy the look by shopping the links below.
This customer waited years for this outdoor kitchen! This was a repeat customer, and when we built their first outdoor kitchen several years ago, they loved the Arctic White Stacked Stone and the sparkly shimmer that comes with it. But the colors on the lanai that they had at the time was not a good match for it. A few years and one move later, they got it! They also decided to go with the 3D stainless backsplash this go round. If you plan to grill a lot and want the least maintenance, the stainless backsplash is the best option.

This outdoor kitchen was built in a Pulte Home, in a renown floorplan with the extended lanai option.
This is a great looking kitchen! The silver travertine stacked stone and Bianco Ibiza granite pair so nicely with the pavers and wall colors. The color choices for this kitchen were really easy to make and it turned out beautifully. This kitchen is 8’7″ along the wall and comes out 5’6″ away from the wall. There is a 10″ overhang off the back and left sides of the 5’6″ cabinet. Even though it will be some time before this model sells, we hope that future homeowner gets lots of use and enjoyment from this outdoor kitchen.
You can view this kitchen in person at Pulte’s Model Center in TerraWalk at Babcock Ranch. Please check their website for directions and the current hours.
