Outdoor Fireplace Project! (Step #1)

Well, I finally have the final drawing for my outdoor fireplace. I'm using the above photo for my inspiration. As you can see from the drawing, my husband we decided against a lovely, cozy seating arrangement on the sides of the fireplace. Instead, there will be flat surfaces to place hors d'oerves, dinner platters, an obnoxious television for sports blooming summer flowers, and more.


The posts look strange in the drawing, but they are supposed to look like the above photo. My next step will be to select the stone. My house is brick, so I want to have a stone fireplace to break it up a bit. I'm using the same brick from the house inside of the cubby inserts. What do you think? 

We're hoping to get the project started in fall when our masonry crew is available.

Stay tuned!
