I can remember sitting around a campfire in the woods roasting marshmallows and sipping hot cocoa when I was a child. And I remember thinking that those evenings under the stars with family and friends were some of the best evenings during summer vacation.
Even now, you will find me outdoors in the evenings reading, working or simply relaxing fireside. It is a favorite thing to do - and enjoying the charm of a crackling fire outdoors is something you can do whether you live in the city or the country.
There are many wonderful styles and elements that you can include to create your very own 'camping' experience right in your backyard.
Like classic Adirondack chairs, several wood stumps for seating and charming outdoor fire pits.
Fire pits come in all shapes and sizes - from small versions that are perfect for using in a smaller area:
To modern renditions made out of glass - which I am really loving the look of:
To a classic and beautiful look with scrolly detailed metal:
or a gorgeous large mission style fire pit:
Paired with a couple of chairs or wood stumps - fire pits are perfect for adding hours of enjoyment and lots of memory making to your summers for years to come.
