Favorite Fire Pits

This is a long time dream of ours that we are saving for, and have been saving for – to create an outdoor retreat that encourages relaxing and togetherness and laughter. It is at the top of our home project list because it will add to our family bonding time. In an old home like ours, the to-do list is lengthy to say the least. But because of the joy this will bring to our family, so it has been moved up on the list. Officially Stamped: Super High Priority.

Today’s post is an actual study of the composition of the fire pit itself, not necessarily its surroundings.

 My Latest, Most Favorit-est Fire Pits:

{Fire pit set into the ground. Stone patio surrounding pit. Shallow pit. Chairs, benches and walls surrounding. Set near home.}



{A long time fave of mine. Built-in matching bench surround. With spaces under bench for wood!! Natural setting.}



{Fire pit with a view. A lot of seating. HUGE stone fire pit surround. Love the actual stone look of this fire pit – very organic and natural in form.}



{Surrounded by comfortable seating. An extension of the home – very inviting. Classic form, simple.}



{A literal pit. Natural surroundings. Adirondack chairs and outdoor lighting. Relaxed feel.}

And I added this one simply for the form:



{This sunken, stone-surrounded design could be used among any of the settings above. DIY-able.}

These are actual inspiration pictures that are MAJOR faves of mine. The fire pit is just a tiny piece of the puzzle in my hopeful hardscaping makeover.

As I look at all five of these favorite pics together, it helps me to decide what is truly important for me in Fire Pit features. Gathering several of your MOST fave pics is an excellent exercise to help you to define your personal style.

Which one is your fave? Do tell!!
