One of the benefits of living in the south is that the outdoor season goes beyond the summer months. While the heat and humidity does seem to overstay its welcome some years, everything from backyard BBQs to pool days and porch sipping can stick around well into the fall. This means that creating an outdoor oasis fit for any season is a staple around here, and we love helping our clients create transitional spaces that not only blend seamlessly from the inside out, but also perfectly shift from season to season.
Check out this recent renovation we space planned & designed – with an extra exciting announcement at the end!
Sports Bar
We’re not biased, but this is one of the coolest projects we’ve worked on to date. We helped completely transition the existing garage, which was used exclusively for storage beforehand, to a stunning lounge and bar space that carries through to the outdoors. Inside, we converted the concrete space to a lounge area complete with a wood-paneled wall from Good Wood Nashville covered in sports memorabilia near and dear to our clients’ hearts, a dedicated bar space with seating for five, and a separate lounge area with a TV, fireplace, shelving, and a sectional for added seating.

But what did we do with the garage doors, you ask? We gave them a facelift all their own. We swapped the metal lift doors for stunning accordion-style windows that open into the backyard from LaCantina Doors, allowing the beautiful rolling hills to be seen from the inside in chillier weather or opened into the back deck on nice days. We added a mesh screen to keep the bugs at bay.
Pool Deck
The outdoor pool deck is a stunning oasis thanks to both the existing landscape and the design, serving as an extension to take the party from the inside out. The doors open to reveal a covered patio that cascades into a concrete pool deck, complete with loungers, a separate gathering area, and a covered space for grilling.
The sloped backyard offers stunning views of the surrounding area, which is perfectly rural and embodies the beauty of Tennessee in a stunning way.
Fall-Friendly Outdoor Spaces
Creating a space fit for fall can be achieved in ways both big and small. Especially in the south, days can heat up when the sun is shining and cool off significantly once it sets, so consider adding an outdoor fireplace or a firepit surrounded by adirondack chairs for cozy evenings with a s’more in-hand.
Of course, you can’t forget about football season! Adding an outdoor TV area with seating for a crowd, plus space for a grill, is the perfect way to host a tailgate right at home.
Although… if you want an indoor/outdoor entertainment space as perfect as this one, we have some good news! This home is currently on the market, available to view HERE. If you want to help spruce up your current home, our door is open!
