Big XII – Don’t tell this homeowner that they are not in Kansas anymore

This outdoor kitchen started with a friendly rivalry.  The homeowner knew that we had built our own outdoor kitchen for watching SEC football.  As Kansas fans, they said their outdoor kitchen would be built for the Big XII, which was fitting since the kitchen is just a little over 12 foot long.  If the end product of their kitchen is an omen for their season to come, they better get ready for an NCAA Championship year.

The Blank Space

In the photos below you will see space before the build, when it was just a blank space.  When we walk onto a lanai with just the rough-in, I think we sometimes take for granted how easy it is for us to “see it”, but still we always draw it out to make sure that every “sees” it before we start and that there are no surprises.  It is pretty cool to compare the before and after photos.  The nice thing is, we have built so many kitchens that you can give us some basic parameters and we will fill in the details.  Once the details are finished, we volley the finishing touches (colors) back to the customer, and these customers nailed it!

Absolutely Stunning Outdoor Kitchen

Built in a Mercede home with the bonus room by Taylor-Morrison in Esplanade Lake Club, this L-shape kitchen is built for entertaining.  The two-tier cabinet allows for bar height stools or enjoy standing and resting your elbows on the bar top just the right height.  The Light Travertine stacked stone looks great paired with the Level 1 Desert Brown granite countertop and backsplash.

The floorplan built for outdoor living!

This outdoor kitchen was built in a Taylor-Morrison home. The Pallazio model is perfect for outdoor living especially when the customer has added one of the extended lanai options. This is a terrific floorplan and we can build a straight kitchen that is up to 15’8″ long in this floorplan.

Cookout Central

Have you ever just met a couple that come across as fun?  Well that was these customers.  It was no surprise that as quickly as we were done with their outdoor kitchen, they were sending us photos of them and their neighbors putting it to good use.  Seeing our kitchens get used is so fulfilling and is a great reminder of why we do it!

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.

Outdoor kitchen in Lindsford

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.
