Yard Crashers: Eclectic Cottage

Holly and her roommate CK live in an adorable cottage-style home, but unfortunately their backyard doesn't have any of the same charm. Holly wants a space for entertaining friends but wants it to reflect her eclectic and colorful style. Chris comes up with a design to do both, he adds a gigantic concrete patio that gets surrounded with colorful metal planters full of large trees and a variety of flowers. He then adds a large outdoor kitchen, faced in glass mosaic tile and topped with a funky concrete countertop, along with a large fireplace/water feature combo that acts as the yard's focal point. He includes custom light posts, an oversized dining table and a relaxation area complete with artificial turf and a hammock.
