Project of the Month: August 2023
This home is on several acres, and the homeowner wanted a freestanding outdoor living room with a large kitchen and fireplace that matched their home.
The rustic/hill country vibe is just perfect. The rustic stone and dark stained columns and beams create this stunning outdoor space.
A walkway from the home to the new outdoor space was poured for easy access to the 624 SF freestanding living room. Everything was built to look original to the home – matching the siding, metal roof, and gel-stained Hardie on the columns and beams.
The flooring inside the space is hand-carved limecrete overlay in a travertine pattern. There are concrete pads on the outside for a smoker and plants.
The 18’ kitchen along one side has a grill, sink, fridge, storage, and a ceramic smoker. The granite is Fantasy Brown 3cm leather finish from InStyle Granite and Marble. The raised bar top provides plenty of space for dining outdoors. All the stone on the project is Colonial Monte Vista from Apex Stone.
The hearth and seat walls are topped with Ashton Moire ledge stone from Apex Stone. The custom-built fireplace is woodburning with storage on either side for wood storage. The ceiling is American Nut Brown pre-stained tongue and groove by Woodtone.
