2009 Home Improvement Challenge: Outdoor Improvements Winner and More Favorites

Projects like these turn the great outdoors into living spaces you don't want to leave.

Outdoor Kitchen
 

Winner: Blending Naturally

Multiple seating areas, a grilling station, and a potting shed (on the left) blend gracefully into a mature landscape and create comfortable spaces for outdoor living. Flagstone carries the light gray of the house's brick exterior into the garden, defining the seating areas as well as meandering paths. Low stacked-stone walls outline new, organically shaped planting beds anchored by existing trees.
