Every time Memorial Day rolls around, my husband dreams about grilling amazing food and entertaining friends in our awesome outdoor kitchen.
But since we live in Manhattan, that dream will have to wait until we can get more acreage. But we can start shopping now. Here’s my collection of favorites from across the Web.
Really love the look of natural stone with stainless steel appliances embedded.
And you have to have a pool with your outdoor kitchen!
The one thing I would add is a walk-up bar built into the pool connecting it to the kitchen area. That way people who are swimming can refill their drinks without getting out of the pool!
And check out FrontDoor.com for tips and inspiration for turning your outdoor area into the perfect oasis.

Looking for a place to unleash your rock-and-roll soul? Well the self-proclaimed minister of R&R Lenny Kravitz is selling his waterfront Miami Beach mansion for $2.85 million.
The 5,700-square-foot home in the exclusive Biscayne Point neighborhood features 3 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half bathrooms, a “resort-like” backyard, open bay views, over 1,100 square feet of tiled dock and 100 feet of waterfront.
The aerial view may not look like much, but check out these interior pictures! The decor screams “rocker pimp,” with white shag carpeting, black patent-leather walls, red lacquered floors and a white padded-patent-leather bar.
Reportedly, the rocker toned down the over-the-top decor before putting his shag pad on the market. Good move since not everyone is into that retro disco look.
But Lenny isn’t the only one selling a house — browse more homes for sale in Miami Beach. And if Miami Beach is not your style, find your flavor elsewhere in Miami, FL. Check out the five Miami neighborhoods that are in demand right now.
