The “Go-To” Outdoor Kitchen

This outdoor kitchen was built in a Summerwood in Wild Blue.  This kitchen has what I would call the “Go-To”.  Not every kitchen, but almost every kitchen we build, include the grill, sink & fridge.  The vent hood is also a much needed addition when you have the full height wall.  You may notice in the photos that the fridge is not slide into place all the way.  The rough plumbing was preventing the fridge from moving back, it was corrected at the time the sink was connected, our photos were taken prior to that happening though.

Hurricane Ian hit right in the middle of the build for this outdoor kitchen.  It is a good reminder that outdoor kitchens and grills can come in pretty handy during times that you have to rough-it in Southwest Florida.  Fingers crossed that it will be a long time before this outdoor kitchen sees anything but nice, moderate weather.

Warm & inviting outdoor kitchen

Outdoor kitchen remodel in Verandah Golf & Country Club

The colors of the stacked stone & granite, turned out great in this one!  They look like they were made for this back lanai.

Some of the existing homes in the Verandah are getting a little age on them, and those that had outdoor kitchens, as part of the original build, are coming due for demo & rebuild.  This one turned out great!  It looks so warm & inviting!

Clean & sleek outdoor kitchen

Outdoor kitchen in Riverhall

This outdoor kitchen was built in a Summerwood by Pulte in Riverhall Golf & Country Club in Alva, Florida.

The cabinet base was finished with stucco, with a sand finish for a sleek & modern look, and painted to match the existing exterior wall color.  The granite counter top and backsplashes are a level 3 Paradiso White granite.  The customer went with the full backsplash behind the grill & 10″ high splashes for the remainder of the kitchen.

Holy smokes, that’s a lot of counterspace!

Even though watching gigantic pieces of granite get installed is a nail biter, we enjoyed watching this one come together! This kitchen is full of function, be sure to check out the links below for more info on each component.  And to complete the outdoor living experience, we also installed a a fire burner table.

Riverhall outdoor kitchen

Outdoor kitchen in Ellenwood floorplan

This summer kitchen was built in an Ellenwood floorplan by Pulte and located in the Riverhall community.  This kitchen shows that a great benefit of the extended lanai option is the ability to keep your seating and bar stools well under the roof line of the home.  And while this is not the biggest lanai, the design still lends itself to having everything you could want in an outdoor kitchen.

This outdoor kitchen was built in a Neal Communities home in the Verandah.  Please excuse the hanging screens on this lanai, this is another one that we dealt with during the aftermath of Ian, right when screens are a hot commodity.  Neal’s rough-in option is great because it leaves you a lot of light on the lanai.  However, this customer decided that a hood was important to them.  We built the backing for the hood and left the two screen opening off each side to keep the lanai light and airy.

This customer also added a 55″ Coastal Series TV.  Click for information on outdoor rated TVs – https://elegantoutdoorkitchens.com/landing-pages/sealoc-outdoor-rated-tvs/

Pool Party Time!

This outdoor kitchen was built in the Vista community of Wild Blue in a Lennar home.  We can only imagine the amazing pool parties this homeowner can have with this outdoor kitchen running at full steam!  We personally don’t have any experience with the Alfa One Pizza Oven, but we did revisit this customer shortly after the kitchen was completed and he raved about how great it was. It has a nice sleek look and is not too heavy if you want to store it on occasion to pick up additional counterspace.

Didn’t see that coming!

After we posted the before and after pictures on social media, we got tons of interactions!  One of the comments that stood out was, “Didn’t see that coming!”  And we thought is was a perfect way to sum up this transformation!
