Outdoor Summer Kitchen
August 15, 2010
I do not know if you remember my washing station last summer. I loved it and have wanted to set up an outdoor kitchen (for those rare sunny WA days ;-) This is still not perfect but getting better. For my birthday David bought me this galvanized tub on a stand. Isn't it fun!!! I dragged out an old table and used a vintage sheet for an table cloth. You can not see it in the picture but there is a table for 4 with a red gingham, plastic tablecloth. So we can cook, clean and eat out here. I use my small grill or crock pot out here. As you can see we clean and prepair produce for the freezer out here too. In the NW, warm, sunny days are rare. You have to enjoy them while you can. Do any of you have an outdoor kitchen ??? xoxoxo
PS. Thank you for the feedback about the Wren Bay cover, it was so helpful xoxo
Oh, that is cute! Only if it was possible to add home soda maker without ruining it outdoors.

Looks like Little House on the prairie. I have no outdoor kitchen -- too many flies and bugs here for that. Enjoy those warm summer days while you can!

This is really inspiring and homey! Makes me realize that it's good to have some grassy (or even weedy) area where a little extra water or suds with foot traffic won't make mud or damage tender plantings.

Oh you lucky girl -- it's beautiful! I don't have an outdoor kitchen, but it sure would be fun!

How festive! It's perfectly sweet. The banner above the kitchen adds so much charm! We don't have an outdoor kitchen - the closest we have is the grill out on the patio! LOL Have a wonderful day! :) Theresa xoxo

I LOVE the galvanized tub!!! What a great gift!
Love the whole thing!
No, we don't have an outdoor kitchen. We've been avoiding the outdoors since it's been 105-110 with the heat index and humid! I'm lucking if I can sit outside early in the am. But the end of this week it's suppose to drop back to the 80's so hopefully I'll be able to get some gardening done.

So much fun! And we've had a lot of sunny days lately - at least here on the Island. So I hope you're getting to use your pretty space a lot!
