Nothing says summer quite like a spot of al fresco dining. As soon as the sun emerges from retirement, I'm straight out to my garden. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner — you can find me dining outdoors, trying to make the most of every last drop of sunshine. And I can't think of anywhere I'd rather tuck into a meal than in this Californian fairy-tale, bistro-inspired garden kitchen, set against the backdrop of Mount Tamalpais.
Now, as much as I've been loving the growing trend of outdoor kitchens, I think it's fair to say that the majority of them follow the same guidelines. Typically, these spaces are designed to be as sleek and modern as possible, with sharp lines and cool, hard materials. This isn't to say they don't look great, because they do, but that isn't everyone's style. I'd been waiting ever so patiently to see some shifts in the way we design outdoor kitchens, and finally, at long last, the time has come.
