Today, almost any activity you enjoy inside your home you can bring to the outside. Depending on your budget, your outdoor room can be simple, with a stamped concrete patio, a grill and a table for dining, or more elaborate with a fully functional outdoor kitchen complete with concrete countertops for preparing and serving food, a sink and a refrigerator. You can take the concept even further by adding such amenities as a concrete pizza oven, a fireplace or fire-pit, a concrete bar-top for serving cocktails, an architectural concrete fountain, landscape lighting and concrete statuary.
Cooking
Something to cook with, such as a barbecue grill or wood-fired pizza oven, and countertops for food preparation and serving are key elements in a well-designed outdoor kitchen. Concrete countertops offer the advantages of weather resistance and versatility, since they can be formed into any shape you desire to suit the space. A coat of sealer will simplify cleanup by protecting your countertop from stains. Other amenities, such as concrete bar-tops and outdoor sinks with plumbing, can expand your entertainment options.
Hearth
Wood-burning or gas fireplaces, fire pits, chimineas and portable patio heaters extend the enjoyment of outdoor living well into the evening while creating a cozy conversation area for people to gather around.

Reclaimed wood box beams and timber posts create a bold architectural framework in this bright transitional lower level, their deep dark brown tones and strongly grained faces standing in striking contrast against white walls and light flooring to naturally define the game room space from the living and bar areas beyond. Rather than walls or partitions, these antique timbers do the work of shaping the space while keeping the entire floor plan open and connected. Sourced from 19th and early 20th century structures and prepared through our process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling, every Manomin box beam brings genuine antique character to any application, structural or decorative.
Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking to use reclaimed wood box beams and timber posts to define spaces in an open concept lower level, Manomin Resawn Timbers has been helping people discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood since 2002. We ship nationwide and are happy to help you find the right pieces from anywhere in the country. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message to get started.

One of the homeowners' renovation goals was to incorporate a larger gas cooktop to make meal preparation easier. The cooktop is located conveniently between the sink and the refrigerator. Now, not only is the kitchen more functional, it's also much more appealing to the eye. Note the handsome backsplash medallion in a strong neutral color palette which adds visual interest to the room and compliments the granite counter and maple cabinetry.

The 2,800 square foot Rockaway Beach Residence is a significant remodel and addition to a small beach cottage built in the 1920’s. The owner’s desire for the building was to maintain a visual connection to the water and Seattle beyond and expand upon the nature of the shingled cottages found along the water’s edge in Puget Sound in the early part of the 20th century.
The two bedroom house includes daytime living spaces on the ground level including a sunroom where one can view both Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier on a clear day. The second floor includes bedrooms with views, a gallery space over the dining room below, owner’s office and grandchildren’s loft.
Fine attention to craft was taken in preparing the unusual roof shapes and gracious trim assemblies.
