5 Backyard Fire Pit Ideas To Make Entertaining Easy

As warm summer nights fade into cool fall evenings, use these 5 backyard fire pit ideas to make entertaining easy.

I genuinely enjoy a good fire.

In the Vintage Victorian we added a built-in gas fireplace with bookshelves that I added onto either side.

In the Colonial Foreclosure, we added another gas fireplace kit, and I built shelves on either side with baskets for movies and toy storage.

The French Country Cottage fireplace reno is my favorite to date. It took a lot of “phenageling”, but I pieced together an electric firebox with a solid wood mantel kit and added an antique mantel with a reclaimed brick surround.

As much joy as a fireplace mantel decorated for Christmas brings me there is very little that makes me happier than the crackle of an outdoor fire in the cool evening air of a crisp fall night.
