Summer Kitchen

Just off the Great Room is a covered porch the designer calls the Summer Kitchen.

A delightful area, it rests between the Great Room and the pool area.

Have you ever had guests and they sit outside enjoying the beautiful weather and you're stuck in the kitchen? That does not have to happen here in Butterfly Springs. With the Summer Kitchen, you can be outside with them while preparing the meal. This little area has just about everything for great family fun or for entertaining guests. And it's located in the perfect place for enjoying the picturesque view of the land and lake. Being close to the pool makes it ideal for keeping an eye on the younger ones enjoying the water while the adults take it easy in the shade.

Everything you need for outdoor cooking is situated here.

You have a pass through window that makes it easy to "pass through" the items you need from the kitchen. The inside kitchen window looks out onto this area. The window is a slider and a shelf has been built underneath. This makes it handy to pass things in and out of the kitchen.

Now for the cooking end. There is a sink, a small refrigerator, a real tipanyaka grill, a smoker, and a large corner gas grill. The gas grill has a regular "stove" burner attached for preparing foods not cooked on the grill. It also has two built in drawers and storage underneath.

Grill Area

Add some old cabinets and maybe an antique wet sink, such as the owner as done, and you have a great place for family fun and entertaining.

Eye-catching ceiling fans glide overhead, stirring the air and giving a gentle breeze when needed.

This charming outdoor kitchen offers both bright lights and/or low lights.

Light over Sink

Besides the light on the fans, there are two other vintage, hanging chandeliers located here. And to make it easy for the chef at the grill, there is a florescent light put above the grill.

Light in Center

After dinner it's time to relax. What a perfect place to do just that.

Now is the time to turn the fans on low for a soft breeze. Light the old New Orleans gas lamps and enjoy the night sounds as you gaze at the stars and moon. So romantic! So beautiful! So relaxing.....

Great Dinner...Great Atmosphere...Great Fun...Great Relaxation!
