Create an outdoor cooking area.

Why confine cooking to the kitchen? Sonoma, Calif. enjoys beautiful weather year-round, so the 2009 Dream Home is equipped with the perfect outdoor kitchen: a built-in gas grill, complete with a rotisserie, marble countertops, a refrigerator and a sink for easy cleanup.

Get the look: Put the grill near the table so you can chat with your guests while you charbroil the meal.
