Cuban Woman Turns Backyard into Dream Kitchen: "It Was All Improvised, But It's Perfect"

A Cuban woman living in Lehigh Acres, Florida, has captured TikTok's attention with the unveiling of a family project that took months to complete: an outdoor kitchen entirely crafted by her and her husband. "We regret making our outdoor kitchen ourselves," laughs Adri Baffil, the creator of the viral video that has garnered thousands of reactions. She quickly clarifies, "We regret... not doing this sooner."

From her account @adri.baffil, Adri shared the challenges they faced during the process. "This has been a project that took us more than a day; it’s been several months because, as you know, my husband isn’t home full-time, and that has been the hardest part. No, actually, the toughest part was installing these panels. If you haven't done it before, you have no idea how challenging it can be. My respect goes out to people who do this for a living," she commented.

Improvising the Perfect Outdoor Kitchen

The kitchen, constructed with PVC panels and designed on the fly, has captivated thousands, who praise not only its aesthetic appeal but also its functionality. "I started cooking here before everything was even finished. The entire design was pure improvisation," admitted the Cuban creator.

According to Adri, cooking outdoors has completely transformed the atmosphere of her home. "Inside, the air feels more pleasant, and for some reason, the smell of food cooked outside is more delicious," she explained, encouraging her followers to undertake similar projects: "If you haven't decided to build that kitchen, what are you waiting for?"

Enthusiastic Reactions

The video has been met with a flood of praise and inquiries. Many users have shared their own experiences in building outdoor kitchens, while others have asked for details about the materials and appliances used. "It's beautiful, where can I buy the kitchen doors?" one follower inquired. Another user wanted to know if the wood used was water-resistant, to which she replied, "It's PVC, it's waterproof."

The post has also served as an inspiration. "I’ve already built my kitchen, but the gas stove turned out poorly. Could you tell me where you bought yours?" wrote another follower. Adri readily shared her information and responded to messages.

Community and Advice

Beyond showcasing her creativity, Adri has fostered a community of enthusiastic followers eager to follow in her footsteps. "I never cook inside, and everyone who visits notices the fresh smell," one user wrote. Another jokingly added, "Tell us how many times you argued during the whole project. If it were me and my husband, we might end up divorced!"

Far from presenting a perfect result, Adri's project stands out for its honesty, spontaneity, and the inspiring message it leaves for those dreaming of transforming their outdoor spaces.
