This Is Why One Indoor Kitchen Just Isn’t Enough

As the weather gets warmer, it slowly becomes time to move the party outside. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for an overpriced (and probably crowded) rooftop bar or an all-too-familiar family picnic with mediocre burgers made on an ancient grill. Thanks to our friends at Porch.com, we can all rest easy knowing that outdoor entertaining can be as easy as opening your home’s backdoor to the patio or stepping through the entryway to your balcony. Besides, you can never go wrong with a second kitchen. (One can only dream.)

Where could you see yourself — and your guests — spending some time this season?

• Sometimes an indoor kitchen just isn’t enough.

  

• And an outdoor fireplace is always a bonus.

  

• A fire pit combined with a bar? Yes, please.

  

• Now this is how you take grilling to a whole new level…

  

• …and up the ante on your poolside relaxation game.

  

• Any cooking space is better with fantastic scenery.

  

• Who says chandeliers and lamps are just for the foyer?

  

• Nothing says cozy quite like a fire to gather around.

  

• Bonus points if the entire setup is on a mod balcony…

  

• …or has breathtaking views of the surrounding nature.

  

• Because as long as there’s plenty of lighting when the sun goes down, you’re all set.
