Wow! I am excited that fall is near. Football, fairs, hunting and especially the cooler temperatures. I really enjoy getting together with family and friends to watch football and hang out in the back yard. One of the best investments I have made to my back yard is the living space and outdoor kitchen area. With people staying home more and enjoying time with family and friends it is a great addition to make to your home. It is the largest space you can ad to your home for the least amount of money. Take a look at some great new photos on our Outdoor Living page for ideas and inspiration to transform your backyard.

Outdoor Living
Sep 3
With summer coming to a close and fall just on the horizon, people are getting geared up to spend more time in the crisp outdoor air. And where are they looking to spend time hanging out with family or watching football? Outdoor living spaces. Whether it’s a screen room, pergola, deck or other type of outdoor space, many homeowners are looking for ways to remodel their current home rather than building a new home. If done properly, outdoor spaces make great additions plus add real estate value to your home. When making any addition, it is important to stay with the design and style of your home. At Structures, we go above and beyond to help clients match their existing materials.
One trend we’ve seen in outdoor living is the addition of an outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens come in various shapes, sizes and price points—you can get a small, affordably priced kitchen with a grill, counter and patio or go all out with a kitchen that’s fully loaded with appliances and other accessories. Homeowners love outdoor kitchens because they are great entertaining spaces and can be enjoyed all year round.
If you are interested in building an outdoor kitchen, some factors to consider are as follows:
- Your budget limit.
- The type of cooking you will do and how often.
- Whether you will you eat the food outside or bring it inside the house.
- Whether you are designing the outdoor kitchen for a small family or are planning to use it as a place to host party gatherings .
- The furniture that needs to be used with the design .
- The time of the year you will be using the outdoor kitchen .
- Whether you want the outdoor kitchen to be a flexible , movable arrangement or do you want it permanently installed

Today, we held a video shoot for a television commercial along with a photo shoot for the upcoming Outdoor Living section of the Web site. Two homes were featured-one in Tifton and one in Sylvester. The Tifton home highlighted beautiful outdoor spaces including the pool, pool house and decorative arbor. While the Sylvester home was filmed for the overall floor plan and design, special emphasis was given to the master bedroom, master bathroom and the outward characteristics of the home.
Check back soon to view photos from the shoot in the Outdoor Living section and Portfolio. Also, be on the look out for the addition of our video. They may spur some ideas if you are looking to build a new home or remodel your existing home!
