AFTER: BAR | We completely redesigned the bar structure by opening it up. It was previously closed on one side so we wanted to be able to walk through to the living room. We created a floor to ceiling split vase accent wall behind the bar to give the room some texture and break up the white walls. We carried over the tile from the entry to the bar and used hand stamped carrara marble to line the front of the bar and used a smoky blue glass for the bar counters. | Renovations + Design by Blackband Design | Photography by Tessa Neustadt

Inspiration for a mid-sized coastal backyard concrete paver patio kitchen remodel in Los Angeles

This dream kitchen features an open floor plan with expansive views of the Rocky Mountains. A pull-out pantry, refrigerator drawers, and hidden storage areas ensure the kitchen is fully functional and free of clutter but with food and cooking items within easy reach. The countertops feature unique fossil and Antolin stone, the cherry horizontal grained wood cabinets hail from the same trees, and the custom dining room table is carved from cherry too. Step out from the kitchen to an outdoor dining area with a pass through window to easily access food dishes from the kitchen. Above it all the drywall dropped ceiling gracefully winds around the space with recessed lighting to accentuate the curved soffits. Photography: Emily Minton Redfield

Example of a classic patio design in Dallas

The living room opens toward the kitchen through a slate-blue built-in cabinet wall with brass hardware — a design move that defines the two spaces while maintaining visual flow. The bay window (left) was added during the 2020 renovation, flooding the room with western light and framing views of the mature trees in the side yard. Oak, white-washed floors throughout. Architect: Door13 Architects.

The new kitchen space was greatly enlarged by changing the location and light floods the space with the new vaulted ceiling and skylights. The patio is easily accessed for entertaining through the new french doors and the cantina window with counter to outside seating.

Sliding windows stack to one side of the opening to create a pass-through from the kitchen to the covered patio just outside. Open shelving provides easy cookbook access and provides display space. Blue shaker cabinetry with gold hardware adds a sophisticated element.
