Extending Your Living Space with Stunning Outdoor Kitchens

Extending indoor living spaces into the great outdoors has gone from a “maybe someday” to an “I want it now.” Why? Somewhere along our human existence, like the last few years, we realized we were missing something. Our connection to the natural world had been relinquished as we gave into the demands of a 24/7 lifestyle. 

In the process, we found ourselves adrift, not entirely grounded in the way nature provides. According to a survey by Fixr, homeowners will now spend a quarter of their home improvement budget on their outdoor living spaces, and outdoor kitchens remain the top in-demand feature. They’re embracing outdoor living to the fullest.
