Chris McRee transformed his backyard into an inviting oasis with a stunning northern slate outdoor kitchen. By framing the kitchen island and finishing it with GenStone’s Northern Slate panels, Chris achieved the look of authentic stacked stone—perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying family meals outdoors. The natural slate tones complement both rustic and modern patio designs, making this outdoor kitchen a standout feature in any northern climate backyard.
The Northern Slate Outdoor Kitchen product was chosen for its realistic stone appearance and durability.
