With all the outdoor kitchen suites in the market with their stainless glitz and high BTU ovens, I think an outdoor kitchen like this is more my style. Simple, a little rustic, surrounded by touches of nature, with the must-have essentials — a grill and an outdoor sink. This lovely little outdoor kitchen could fit right into a French countryside cottage, but it's actually from the California home of my friend's Aunt Ann. My friends and I made use of this outdoor kitchen over the weekend to whip up a dinner of steaks, pork chops, veggie burgers, and grilled vegetables, while sipping on margaritas by Aunt Ann's pool. I think your kitchen style may be a personality match, as Aunt Ann has a naturally sweet spirit, full of energy you want to be around, and she's the kind of person you feel like you've always known — even if you've just met. And this outdoor kitchen: love at first sight.
