Obviously, a grill is mandatory out-door wear. I have in my head a wrap-around counter I want to build around my grill. But that's the extent of it. The wine coolers, refrigerators and pizza ovens are SO pre-economic meltdown.JCharlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230380488828173483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-68881096334404752612009-04-02T23:48:00.000-04:002009-04-02T23:48:00.000-04:00Jim - Oooo... the outdoor kitchen "trend" is my pe...Jim - Oooo... the outdoor kitchen "trend" is my personal pet peeve.

These particular firms were all about scraping up yards for hardscaping - pavers & tiles, ponds, paths, bridges and so on. It's not profitable to create and mark up vegetable gardens, sustainable plants and rain gardens– which seem to be honest-to-goodness trends as well.<BR/><BR/>Susan,<BR/>I am not opposed to bars in the garden.

But I agree the whole McMansiony outdoor kitchen thing can be unappealing. If you make the outside look identical to the inside, then why bother going outside at all?<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I'm garbling this but there was some kind of study they did in Southern California that determined homeowners with the most elaborate kitchens used them the least. I've been on more than one consult where the client already had a built in barbeque that was basically the outdoor version of a stairmaster - just a convenient place to throw your stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-81427356025599305062009-04-01T16:37:00.000-04:002009-04-01T16:37:00.000-04:00The title of your post was the best of hooks.
