This typical 2-story home with a breezeway connecting the home to the garage was in need of a total renovation.

Before

This home had a large blank slate of a backyard. The homeowner wanted to add a pool and a new outdoor living space to enjoy their yard.

Life is good

The new outdoor living room is about 675 SF that includes an outdoor kitchen, a dining area and a fireplace area set up for lounging.

Outdoor Kitchen

The kitchen is outfitted with appliances from Cunningham Living, Expressions Home Gallery and S.T.E.D. The griddle is from Expressions and is a great alternative to an outdoor grill. There is an undercounter ice maker from S.T.E.D. All of the doors and drawers, dry pantry and outdoor fridge are RCS brand from Cunningham Living. It is the perfect set up for outdoor dining.

Pull up a chair…

The beautiful counter is Taj Mahal Leather from Omni Surfaces and creates the perfect work space. The kitchen is faced with Nordic Silver split face stone from Keystone Tile that matches the coping on the pool. Light fixtures and fans were provided by the homeowner and are absolutely perfect for this space.

The Perfect Dining Room

The space in the middle was set up to have family meals. The flooring throughout the space is Flagstone White 16×32 porcelain tile from Thorntree. The ceiling is Smokey Bourbon pre-stained tongue and groove Fineline by Woodtone. We installed 3 Bromic heaters from Cunningham gas to help keep the space warm on chilly days and nights.

Staying warm …

The fireplace that anchors the living area is a gas fireplace with black lava rock. The mantle is reclaimed red oak wood from The Reclaimed Wood Shop. The fireplace is faced with the same Nordic Silver split face stone as on the kitchen and pool coping. The hearth and seat/knee walls are honed Ivory slabs from Legends Architectural Stone. The brick wall was slurry painted to give the space a whole new look.

Perfection…

One last look at this new backyard. Such a beautiful transformation.
