What we did on this project was start with a drawing and then as you progressively scroll down you will see where we started and where we finished.  This is one outdoor room that makes a statement!

Are you ready for some football?

Here at Family Leisure we are all about outdoor living, enjoying time with family, and making your outdoor living space as comfortable and functional as we can.  From time to time we get to see some pretty interesting outdoor spaces as well as we get to create some spaces that can also take on a life of their own.  Here is a great example of a family that just moved into town, wanted a space completed before season's kickoff of college football, and had the space to allow for some pretty creative things to happen.

What we did here was build an outdoor bar/ grill island with all the "fixin's"  including a 12 person radial bar with a foot rest, custom fit western red cedar pergola, custom backsplash behind the grill, built in shelving - with quite a view!  These folks are ready for ALL the big games this year!  I think I know where the outdoor rated T.V. should go too!!!!!

Take a look at what we did!

Compilation of Outdoor Living Trends

Hope everyone is having a spectacular summer in their outdoor space. 

Here are a few really good articles that explain what is happening and what will be happening in outdoor living!

Enjoy the reads and see where your outdoor space fits in the trend!

I like these two articles particularly because they not only identify trends that are happening, but by percentage what is important to the the people that are either looking to implement the trend and what is MOST important to them! 

Make your current home great and worry about your next house later is what I say!

Ahead of the trend here?
