Just remember to practice fire safety.

Just relax in front of a warm fire on a cold night.

Do you love grilling and cooking in the backyard during the summer? Do you like to find time to roast marshmallows, and enjoy summer drinks and snacks? You could use a great grill. Or, you could invest in something to give your backyard a touch of outdoor fun: a fire pit.

A Different Side of BBQ

Nothing gives barbecued food the wood-fired flavor like a real fire. If you’re a fan of cooking outdoors, you have probably invested in a grill. However, a fire pit does more than allow you to cook with great natural flavor. It’s an investment for your home. Invest in a great cookout method, place to roast marshmallows, enjoy the summer nights with friends and family, and more. It adds a touch of the wild to your yard and barbecue.

Camping Close to Home

Sometimes, taking the kids camping just isn’t possible. However, if you have a backyard, bringing the camping trip close to home can be fun. Take your sleeping bags and tents to the yard, and light up the fire pit. Of course, you’ll always want to keep a watchful eye when it comes to fire and your children. You can give them the campfire experience right at home.

Year-Round Backyard Fun

Summer is great for a backyard fire pit. However, summers can get hot; if you’re not feeling the extra heat, the fire pit continues to be great for all seasons. Any time the weather cools enough for you, your fire pit is ready for you to light up and enjoy the season. Add a touch of warmth to cold nights so not only can you continue to cook out any time of the year, your friends and family can enjoy the extra warmth, too.

Add a touch of outdoor fun to your yard this summer. Contact us at Stamped Artistry about a backyard fire pit.

Fireplace Renovation, Even in Spring and Summer

Posted by | Fire Pits and Fire Places, Uncategorized | No Comments

For many of us, winter is over. We still have come relatively cool spring days ahead of us, but the fires and heavy comforters are no longer necessities. So, you might ask why anyone would suggest revitalizing the fireplace just as spring and summer are blooming?

It’s a great way to spruce up your home’s interior.

The fireplace is a viewpoint in your home. Yes, it’s there to be functional, but even homes in locations that don’t see strong winters can have fireplaces. That’s because they’re also considered aesthetic pieces; they add to the appearance of your home. So, when is the last time yours was renovated? If you’ve been wanting to change a little something in your home but don’t know what, consider the fireplace. Or, add the fireplace to your list of renovations. You don’t have to gut and replace everything. You can have new stone put in, tile, fixtures, or you can have some staining and painting done. There are lots of possibilities and even the smaller ones can make a big difference.

Have it ready when you might need it.

Sure, there may not be many calls for a fire in the house. But, summer time makes us wants s’mores. It makes us want to sit around a fire. If you can’t do that outside, you can still do that inside without making things too hot to bear—thanks, in large part, to air conditioning. Get that fireplace ready for family and friends.

You can do it outdoors, too.

Do you want to have those nights around a fire cooking, eating, talking, drinking, camping? You don’t have to go to a campground and you don’t have to ruin your backyard. You can have a nice fire pit, or outdoor fireplace—chimney and all—in your backyard. You can have it on the patio, on stones in the middle of the yard, wherever is appropriate. It’s not just a fun piece; when you have it designed and installed by a professional, it’s made to look like a lovely, decorative extension of your home.

FIREPITSWith a beautiful outdoor space to complement your home, you may find yourself playing host to friends and family more often. There’s an understandable pride many people feel when their home is at its best. Imagine if you could add s’mores, roasts, and the general lovely glow of a warm fire to the list of fun activities you could do with people in your backyard. If you have never considered adding a fire pit to your yard, think about having one built now for more backyard fun throughout this year.

You can have all the warmth and fun of a campfire right in your backyard. A well-designed outdoor fire pit adds a modern, aesthetic appearance to the rustic look of the standard fire. Fire pits have become popular, and their designs are more creative and multifaceted as a result. Your contractor can construct a permanent one in your yard and you can choose from a variety of materials, such as stamped concrete.

Wood and gas burning pits are the most common choices. Some people find that gas fire pits are more convenient, but, for some, the sounds and smell of a wood fire cannot be replaced. No matter what sort of fire you have, you need fire-resistant materials. Stamped concrete, stones, bricks, and similar substances are all possibilities.

The pit must be set on a fire-resistant surface, such as a stone or concrete patio, or other similar outdoor area. The pit itself can be designed to suit your overall outdoor décor, or be a new, elegant piece to enhance your home. Stamped concrete may be particularly helpful because it is less expensive than some materials, such as real stone, but it can also be made just as attractive in appearance.

Make your outdoors space even more enjoyable and give yourself a place to host campfire fun. Add an outdoor fire pit to your yard. Call us at Stamped Artistry and let us help you design a great fire space.
