Outdoor Kitchen Build

Outdoor Kitchen Build

Living in Florida, you want to spend almost all of your time outside. I cook at least one meal outside almost every single day, so it's time we had our outdoor kitchen finished! When we built this house, we had the option of finishing the outdoor kitchen but I didn’t necessarily like the options that the builder gave us, shocking :)

So here we are, 2+ years later. We are going simple with the design because I can always add on if I choose to. I'm going with a drop in grill, mini fridge and some extra drawers for storage of all the fun grilling accessories. (all of my favorites will be linked below)

I'm sticking with a neutral, super clean look. White and gray, maybe a little bit of beige so it doesn't clash with the white and gray of the pool tiles and pavers. (more about the design as the process goes on)

As much as I love living in Southwest Florida, it does get superrrr hot and humid so you have to think of those things during the design process as well. We couldn't use certain stones/materials because the sun is so strong it can change the colors of the stone. We knew going into this that the grill is going to rust within a few years regardless of its cost so be prepared to replace things.

Do you love cooking outside as much as we do?
