Indiana Hoosier infuenced outdoor kitchen and fire pit!!!!!

What we did here was drastically improve what was once a cracked concrete overlay (which I personally never recommend), ripped out the concrete and replaced it with a solid 2 color stamped English York Pattern that will eventually accent the stone and granite we chose for the outdoor kitchen.  As you scroll down the post you will see the progression photos from start to finish.

Also note that the home owner had a hot tub on their deck that was going unused and we wanted to maximize their space without really increasing the amount of useable space so we added some "Fire" to their deck and finished the look with a beautiful 48" chat height fire pit!!!!

New Venetian Gold Granite kitchen with a firepit and mixed reflective glass to match!!!! Now THAT is custom!

What a great finish to a nice project that's been been ongoing since the end of spring.  Here we have a custom 20 x 18 foot paver patio that was missing something!  What we did to maximize the space, and the grill/bar footprint was combine them all together so that not only could the kitchen area be a place to grill, but also a place to eat, sit by the fire, and relax!

The bar ledge which goes entirely around the back side seats about 10 people and we added about 2 feet of prep to the left of the grill.

What makes this unique from a lot of other featured on this outdoor living blog is that we decided to not try and contrast what was happening with the the beautiful paver flooring, but rather keep the base simple with an outdoor rated stucco, but make the top of the kichen/bar area POP with a New Venetian Granite top and some beautiful reflective matching fire pit glass.

What do you think!!!!
