Project of the Month: August 2023
August 9, 2023 Outdoor Living, Project of the Month
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.
Before
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.
After
The 18’ kitchen along one side is equipped with 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.

The raised bar top provides plenty of space for dining outdoors. All of the stone on the project is Colonial Monte Vista from Apex Stone. The hearth and seat walls are topped with Ashton Moire ledge stone also 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.
