Refined elegance in outdoor cooking!!!!! Simple, but sweet!!!!

When we planned this custom outdoor kitchen we wanted elegance and power and that is exactly what we accomplish.  In a small space we were able to combine the natural elements of the custom paver patio with a complimentary cultured stone product, topped it off with New Caledonia granite - and put the E7660i diamond echelon engine to make it GO!!!!!! Complete with a viewing window for a closer look at this gourmet outdoor chef's food of choice on the grill.

When I help design and plan these outdoor kitchens we try and take in account everything we can so that the with the space we have, we maximize its final look.  Enjoy a peek into this elegant outdoor living space!

Custom Outdoor Room - Fireplace with wood boxes and an Outdoor Kitchen with a firepit

Catching up with all of our projects now, this family had a dying tree, some 10 year old uneven pavers,, and a space that needed some light....when I say light, I'm talking FIRE!

These progression pictures show you where they were a month ago to where we got them with their outdoor space!

We went with a 88 inch tall fireplace, a 9 foot long outdoor kitchen/bar area complete with a firepit, as well as a two color light charcoal textured concrete - take a look!

What are you doing to make your house more of what you want it to be ?????

From Deck to Decadence in three weeks

 We tried to work this client into the end of last year, but with timing it just didn't happen.  So the family moved to one of the first projects of 2012!  What we did here was take a 350 square foot decaying deck (with some unfortunate surprises underneath) and change it to a permanent part of their outdoor living space.  With over 8 tons of dirt brought in and 12 tons of stone to form the base and make the grade of land flat this is what we did.  You can hardly recognize from where it was three weeks ago to where it is now!

Here is the beginning pictures with the deck tear out.

Bi-Layer Deck

Flushed to the 3 seasons room

The next step was leveling the grade, bringing in dirt and pouring the footer for the Fireplace

stone and dirt brought in to patch some long term water damage under the deck

6 inch thick concrete fireplace footer

The third phase was to bring in the fireplace and than start building the patio foundation with a lifetime warrantied product (Reading Rock)

We also added a rounded step off the patio for a beautifully cut serpentine sidewalk that allows better access to and from their driveway

Cutting Paver Stone, laying of the pattern to the fireplace

Almost there

The last phase is where we did the grouting, clean up, and brought in their outdoor kitchen complete with a rounded 82 inch bar ledge for additional seating

Adding Lights to the rounded seat walls to the fireplace/ hooking up electric

Completed Project !  Just look at the first picture and scroll down to this!

The products used were the Chardonnay Stacked Cultured Stone for the fireplace, Bull Grill and Components in the Kitchen, Reading Rock Halfmark Series, and the little blue chairs were provided by the client :)

Projects are starting to already be completed!

Due to the fantastic weather we have been experiencing here in the Midwest we have already started completing projects from design to delivery.  Take a look at what we did for this great space in Indianapolis.

Granite: More than you thought....

I've learned a lot about granite with this position because as things become more and more custom in Outdoor Living so do the products we need to carry.  There are actually III levels of granite in the country.  Even though the "extracting" and cutting of these granites remains the same the degree at which their properties and patterns change can be vastly different.  The "rating" of these granites is pretty subjective, but as you can see from the pictures the distinction from a Level I to a Level III is very apparent.  Take a look a the difference:

Uba Tuba Level I (Cutting Board)

Above is a very recognizable Uba Tuba Granite, looks great right?

Black Galaxy Level III

Above is an example of a Level III granite, this is called Black Galaxy, as you can see very notable color and ripple changes throughout the granite making this a Level III piece

This is just one of many Level III granite we can help you with as you make your outdoor living space your own!

Concept to Reality - Customized Right Down to the Seat Cushions!

What we have here is a fantastic project where we took a premium stone (Cobblefield Grey Limestone), added a little Granite (Starry Night), sprinkled a chat height fire pit, and then polished it off with a retractable awning complete w/ remote control and outdoor rated T.V.!!!!!!!

Staycationing is a real word and this is a real outdoor kitchen!

Here is an example of some accessories you can add to your outdoor kitchen.  There are actually side burners out their that can crank out 90,000 BTU's.  Why exactly would you need this kind of power?  Well, you can boil lobster at 90,000 BTU's.....I like lobster!!!!!!

Power Side Burner Featured just inside the picture

Outdoor kitchens are becoming so custom there are actually outdoor rated counter blenders available now. Believe it or not, there are companies out there testing outdoor rated dishwasers.....

Yes folks, the word "Staycation" is in the English Dictionary!
