InnovationLandPatio kitchen plans these days require the ability to incorporate high-tech, modern appliances into rustic, timeless – even ancient-looking – outdoor design styles.
You can see this juxtaposition pulled off perfectly in this outdoor kitchen by Outdoor Homescapes of Houston.
“A smart patio kitchen plan requires not only a balance of the new and old,” says Outdoor Homescapes owner Wayne Franks, “but a blending of new elements – like an outdoor kitchen – with the existing home and outdoor living features like a pool, hardscaping or landscaping.”
In this case, explains Franks, the existing 25-by-15-foot pool had a craggy edge of moss rock boulders, plus a spa and firepit faced with a rough Scabos splitface travertine.
“The overall look was rustic and naturalistic,” says Franks, “so we of course wanted the new outdoor kitchen island to match.”
Hence the 14-foot-long outdoor kitchen island with a raised bar, also faced in the Scabos splitface travertine and topped with a Normandy granite countertop. The hardscaping around it is Kool Deck® textured concrete.
“People used to shy away from busy textures in outside patio kitchen plans, but now they’re embracing them,” notes Franks. “They’re increasingly attracted to the beautiful imperfections and irregularities of nature – there’s more of an authenticity and character to it.”
Now, for the high-tech part: A Traeger wood pellet grill. Traeger grills are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to infuse amazing, rich flavor and for their versatility (they can grill, bake, smoke, slow cook, braise and barbecue).
This premier model, the Memphis Pro 304, features 562 square inches of cooking space and a three-in-one cooking system (high-temperature grill, low-and-low smoker and true-convection-oven roasting and baking). It also has an intuitive Intelligent Temperature Control (see the display panel to the left of the grill) that can be set for cooking and internal temperature.
A programmable food probe tells you when the internal temperature is reached and drops the grill down to a programmed lower temperature to keep the food warm till serving.
The dual-fan convection system, with reliable metal blades, circulates heat evenly for tender, juicy results. Double-walled and sealed construction of 304 stainless steel allows for optimum heat retention and consistent temperatures in all weather conditions. A direct-flame “flavorizer” insert delivers the added flavor of a seared finish.
Outdoor Homescapes also added a mount sink with a custom oil-rubbed bronze faucet by Moen and the following RCS stainless steel accessories: a pull-out trash door, a countertop trash chute, dual horizontal grill utensil drawers and a swing-out storage door.
“At first, you’d think all this technology and the smooth, modern stainless steel would fight with the rustic look of the rough-faced stone in outdoor patio kitchen plans,” says Franks. “But it actually provides some visual rest from all the rugged textures and busyness.”
Serving a similar function is the smooth, polished Scabos travertine tile used for the pool coping and firepit ledge.
“It’s a perfect environment for the client to entertain business associates,” says Franks. “He’s very happy with the old-meets-new approach, and so are we.”

Deck and Patio Company "Outdoor Living Experts"Hibiscus
People often think of hibiscus as a tropical flower — which it is. But it will thrive surprisingly well elsewhere, including the northeast. They do need lots of space, rich well-drained soil, and plenty of water but are worth the coddling.
Some varieties of hibiscus can grow into trees. How about that.

Bricks IncorporatedThe new owners opted to replace the aging, historically inappropriate vinyl siding on this Wicker Park single family home with double-dipped McNear “Limehouse" thin brick. Believe it or not, there's a red brick under those two coats of limewash!
Initially, these easy-going homeowners sought out a pure white brick, but ended up using this rustic alternative instead. Notes of the red brick subtly peek through the lime, giving the residence an old world flavor. These bricks were attached using Glen Gery ThinTech panels, and will be sealed soon to protect the wash and allow for easy maintenance. Contrary to popular belief, siding is actually more expensive to take care of over time than masonry!

Showplace Cabinetry Design CenterDoor style: Pendleton RSP | Species: Rustic Hickory | Finish: Amber with Ebony glaze
The spirit of the great outdoors is expressed perfectly in this rustic hickory creation. The understated Pendleton door style has a historic flavor, while the subtle accent of a sleek Charcoal molding treatment adds an up-to-date touch. The flowing, free-form layout is both functional and inviting. The large, two-level peninsula offers prep and eating spaces, and also creates a boundary with the adjacent great room. Note how the beaded panel and Charcoal corbels add texture and contrast to the peninsula, and look great with the peeled-log stools. Granite-like laminate counter tops and a tile backsplash contribute to a subtle and warm palette of textures and colors, right down to the rustic hickory hardwood floor.

Grand Renovation, IncThis is the powder room. Note the very interesting wallpaper - custom made in Brooklyn by Flavor Paper- which is a particularly New York paper. Looking closely, you will see a parking meter, a fire hydrant, a pigeon, and rats - along with some Victorian floral motifs.

Showplace CabinetryDoor style: Horizon | Species: Red Oak SG | Finish: Coffee
Slab door styles are most often associated with modernist or contemporary settings. But this homeowner had a distinct vision for an eclectic theme that combines sleek with comfortable. The historic flavor of the pulls and handles is an example of this "shabby chic" melding of genres. Note also that base cabinets do not follow the more-common mode of upper drawers, with lower doors. The designer opted for either all-doors, or all-drawers on base cabinets, adding still more individuality to the room.

Custom Painted White cabinetry includes a 36" Thermador gas range and hood provide the modern cooking space. Note how the SS Hood cover was fitted tightly to the existing crown system; adds to the professional installation (The Alexander Group). The resurfaced hard wood flooring is a beautiful retention for this classic style. Photo by; Randy Trager

The Kitchen WitchThis kitchen is light filled. Note the wall mounted kitchen faucet that adds to the over all vintage flavor. There is a sizable under-the-counter oven and a microwave station. The white cabinetry adds sparkle and the vintage style hardware feel right at home in this highly usable little space. Three cooks can easily make 100 square feet work and have a good time doing it. The meal should be exceptional.

Defined by the inset Pendleton door style, this room projects a historical flavor, while still being highly functional and efficient. Note how the farm apron sink fits perfectly with the flavor of the room and the home.

Flavor PaperVigilant Floral in Delft strikes the right refined yet playful note in this artistic Dallas townhouse designed by Alice Cottrell. Photography by: Stephen Karlisch.
At first glance a traditional floral, but upon deeper investigation you realize you’re not alone. You’re being watched. A fantastic take on today’s big brother culture, Dan Funderburgh uses security cameras to reveal how we have become impervious enough to the presence of cameras that we don’t even notice them immediately when in such a contradictory scenario such as this floral wallpaper. Birds and butterflies on razor is another less than subtle comment on humans entrap themselves and nature on a daily basis. Yet the serious nature of the commentary loses out to the overall humor behind the way the elements have been combined and that is exactly why Vigilant Floral is destined to become a classic. This handscreened pattern is available in four colorways with customization offered.
FurnituredotcomArrive in Style. If your destination is up-to-date décor with a touch of retro vibe, look no further than the Highline Cream collection. Sleek, low track arms, button-tufted back and seat cushions and high tapering legs give the pieces a mid-century flavor, and the versatile cream tone of the woven upholstery will easily blend with a range of color schemes. Fun fabrics on the coordinating accent chair and cocktail ottoman give the collection extra pep, for a look that says "you've arrived." (Note: product availability may differ by zip code)
