OUTDOOR KITCHEN BUILD | DIY, LOW COST & OFF GRID

I'm building my dream outdoor kitchen. The process of turning a slab of concrete into a fully functioning summer kitchen space has taken a couple of years. In this video I cover the last two months which was the interior fit out of the outdoor summer kitchen. This is an affordable DIY build as I'm using using retro vintage tiles and second hand furniture. The summer kitchen is on the land next to my off grid cabin which right now does not have a kitchen. This inside- outside space has really transformed how I enjoy time at the cabin. The kitchen is protected from rain and I can heat it with a log burner on the cooler summer evenings and extend the use of the space into the spring and autumn. I love spending time outside and now I have a comfortable practical space to enjoy better light quality and the sounds of the nature all around. I'm in a wild nature park in the Morvan, France.
Looking for affordable outdoor kitchen ideas, this video is for you!

[@thereisacrack3]

This looks so, so good! All your choices, the tiles, the colours... great work. You deserve wider recognition :)

[@katybuilds]

Hi again thereisacrack... 👋 Very happy you liked it. I got very lucky with the gorgeous tiles and well we all know I love a bit of orange... We've got some new subscribers in the last few days so our little tribe is growing. 🎉

[@jeffwrench9994]

I think the outdoor kitchen turned out beautiful. I love your builds. Keep up the great work

[@katybuilds]

Thank you so much I really appreciate all your encouragement 👍

This episode was a visual pleasure and treat… I love the colors, the tiles are exquisite, the addition of the chaise lounge is wonderful. Its early Sunday morning here in NY and I’m enjoying watching your skill and design flare while drinking my coffee. So very glad you’re back Katy. ❤❤❤

[@katybuilds]

Great I'm delighted to be a part of your morning coffee moment, I also look for little renovation videos to enjoy alongside my morning coffee. Shame you can't pop over for a coffee together 🤩

[@Karenc1008]

@@katybuilds I’m too old to be popping over the ocean… the only popping I do these days is my knees!!! Very much wish I could though!

[@katybuilds]

@Karenc1008 oh well you are with menin spirit that counts too 😊

[@charlotteminell3701]

So impressive to see it all come together ❤ looks super cozy and practical and absolutely love the tiles 😍

Glad you like it... Come and cook your nice asparagus and parmesan recipie 😘

[@tclteevee3467]

I'm the 1k subscriber here. I love this outdoor, summer kitchen you built. I just currently renovated my kitchen too. And I love how many more builds you'll make.

[@katybuilds]

Hurray!!!!! I'm absolutely delighted with reaching 1000 subscribers. I have spent 1.5 years learning to film and edit alongside the cabin build and I felt like a failure and giving up youtube several times. I hope now I have gradually learned how to make better videos that I my small tribe will grow. I've had many early followers who have been incredibly kind and faithful and stuck with me through the less 'good' videos while I find my way. To have reached 1000 subscribers is a huge step for me. 1000 people watching that feels like a LOT!!!! Thank you so much for being my 1000 subscriber and I hope you enjoy the content over the coming months. It certainly inspires me to keep sharing and trying. Today is very exciting 😁

[@patsampson6990]

[@livefree-ordietrying]

Wauw, Katy. That is just wonderful. You are quite the skillful one, and design and color wise, it's spot on with the surrounding landscape. Love your attitude. Nothing is impossible, sometimes it just takes a bit longer, and best of all, - the way you make all those barn/flee market finds shine. Superb. All the best from the Swedish woods. Michael.

[@alanmatthews9260]

Lovely idea! Can’t do something like that here in the southern United States because of bugs, flies and insane humidity!

[@katybuilds]

Ah....yes I can imagine you'd need to add flyscreens and a big fan /aircon. Its not so bad here, some bugs in the evening but the blinds help. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it 🌿

Ah yes I think you'd need bug screens aircon and a ceiling fan. But hey you've got clam chowder and chicken fried steak to make up for it 🤩 I have visited several southern states and I absolutely loved it!
