If you watch HGTV you might think
you can't afford to do this,
but with a simple plan and rough lumber
it doesn't have to cost an arm & a leg.
We love our backyard space.
Here is our outdoor dining area.
We went for a sort of a Tex Mex theme for the
dining room and kitchen.
Note the chalk board menu.
I love that chalkboard menu. My hubby would think he had died and gone to heaven if he had all that nice outdoor grill space! Very nice.

Thank you for leaving a comment Dorothy. Connie and I love spending time out there in the warm weather months and I even venture out occasionally in winter.
DeleteCool is right. My goodness you must love enjoying that space with family and friends as I sure would.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have the gear for cooking some great food. I see those burners for sale at one of our big box places ..the two you have on the raised grated table.. I never thought to arrange them as you have. Inspiring...and a lovely area made by you for your family. Just a treat. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for your nice comments. I hope to inspire folks to get creative with the back yard.
DeleteThis space looks amazing and I have seen several ideas that I am going to blatantly pinch for our back deck on the barge!
ReplyDeleteHi Fran, so nice to hear from you. Sure would love to see the barge some day. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

You are always welcome, especially if we get some expert lessons in bbqing x
DeleteWhat a great outdoor space!! You do amazing work! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. We do love being outdoors.
DeleteLooks great. I think I have some ideas for our deck...
ReplyDeleteSpring is on the way so happy cooking. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteHi Steve, I am a blogging friend of Connie's and she put your link in her latest post. I am amazed that you built all this! What a wonderful gathering spot for your friends and family. Unfortunately, my husband is not a handy guy, so something like this is only in my dreams. If you lived closer to us, I'd hire you. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie, so nice to hear from you and thank you for stopping by my blog. We do really enjoy ourselves in our back yard. I was never a handy guy when I was younger because I didn't have the patience to do things right. That all changed a few years back when I decided to build a boat. It turned out nice and gave me the confidence to try anything. See the boat on my blog if you care to. Thanks again.
DeleteSteve.
Really nice place indeed! :) Oh, I miss summer and cooking outside so much...
ReplyDeleteHi Saaara, It's not too warn yet but I am going to cook a steak on the Big Green Egg in about ten minutes. Thanks for stopping by my blog and happy cooking.
DeleteWow! That looks like a nice spot to stop and rest awhile. We can smell the food cookin.

You are smelling a rib steak at the moment. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteHere in Oregon it would be covered in green moss, That is one of the best outdoor living spots I have seen. You do good work. keep the old black pots hot.
ReplyDeleteHi Ron, thanks for stopping by my blog. Having lived in Seattle in the past, I know just what you mean about green moss. Happy cooking my friend.

Your blog is terrific Steve! I love your outdoor living area and the kitchen is out of this world wonderful! Don't think I have ever seen a friendlier one ... Love, Love, Love It!
ReplyDeleteSteve if we lived near you, you would have guest every evening my hubby loves his meat. This looks like an outdoor restaurant you could sell tickets :)
ReplyDeleteYour outdoor kitchen is wonderful! It looks like a real restaurant and that you can seat a lot of people out there.
