Barbeque Ready Patio

By Kate Riley May 26, 2016

This past week I stopped in for my monthly visit to Las Vegas, right now the first house we remodeled is not rented to a tenant and we plan to keep it that way for the summer so we can enjoy it ourselves.

I was invited by Ace Hardware to get my backyard “Barbeque Ready” for the summer season and their invitation could not have been more timely. We spent last summer without a barbeque so we were desperately in need of one for the rear yard. Ace Hardware invited me to show off the Weber Genesis Grill and (twist my arm!) I said “Of course!”

Previously we never used this side yard but we decided to maximize the utility of this outdoor space since it has a view of the rear yard pool. There was an unused patch of grass so we opted to remove it and the rock walkway and extend the patio, connecting it to the rest of the hardscape. Here’s a peek at it a month ago:

Here is the patio today!

Adding this patio allowed for a space for a table, chairs, and BBQ zone which we will enjoy when we spend several weeks here this summer. (Also great for when the home is rented too!) I also shopped Ace Hardware’s online store for a new table and chairs and a fab navy striped market umbrella for shade protection.

I purchased the square X base dining table online, as well as the four woven stackable chairs which are stylish, comfortable, and sturdy.

These Paradise Lanterns and cobalt blue planters I found at my local Ace Hardware, each one stocks a variety of outdoor décor and kitchen utensils too. The lanterns are battery operated and add ambiance in the evening.

This Weber Genesis Grill is a beautiful copper color and more importantly a fabulous BBQ with a side burner and handy tool hooks! The temperature is easy to control with the multiple dials and round gauge on the hood.

The Weber Genesis Grills are available in multiple colors including charcoal, black, also jade green and crimson, I chose Copper to complement my blue accents and terra cotta tile roof.

I wanted to try out the new grill right away, with some additional BBQ tools I made the Asian Steak Kabobs for dinner (I posted the recipe yesterday). My handy tools used were the Grill Mark BBQ Tool Set, the Weber Stainless Steel Kabob Set, and a Grill Mark Basting Bowl & Brush combo.

These kabobs are one of my favorite summer meals!

  1. Hi Kate, your new outdoor space looks fantastic! I particularly love the ‘blue’ theme that ties all the bbq accessories together….and of course the meal you cooked looks scrumptious too. I agree that no home should be without a bbq – you have inspired me to get more organized in my own backyard!

  2. The patio looks great! Love the colors! Would love to know where the rug is from.

  3. Your new outdoor space looks so great Kate! I bet you’ll be out there many nights grilling and enjoying dinner. Really nicely done. I hope to make those kabobs this weekend, They look delicious. We’re supposed to have fantastic weather this weekend. Perfect for outdoor grilling and dining! Enjoy the long weekend!

  4. Love it! I didn’t see my email being entered. Hope it worked!

  5. Nice BBQ area! We have a trusty old charcoal Weber, which I love, but I think the husband would love to add a gas grill too for more options. We’re planning on doing a lot of backyard work this summer, so thanks for the inspiration!

  6. I love! love!! love!!! the navy fish rug … bought it online and picking up this afternoon :)

  7. oh wow the patio is beautiful! Nice job! And I know someone who works at Ace and got one of their Weber grills and have had some nice kebabs from it, and I’ve made things like grilled pizza on it. It works wonderful. Yum! Those grills are great!

  8. We love love love our Weber gas grill, but it’s getting old and I would love a copper one!! We grill all year long, so it gets a lot of use.
