Young House Love » Our First House » Gimme S’more: Adding A Firepit

Gimme S’more: Adding A Firepit

This is the most amazingly easy way to add a little fun to your yard (no matter how small) and spruce up your space in mere minutes. Two chairs + a metal firepit = the best seats in the house. Check out our new set-up.

And you don’t even need to have grass. You can set ’em down on pavers, concrete, a deck, a patio, or even a clearing in the woods. So carve out a corner and surround a firepit with as many chairs as you’d like. Firepits have never been more affordable- take home this basic version for $69.99 or adopt this copper beauty on sale for $119.

Then it’s time for a marshmallow run.

    What a wonderful idea! I’ve been trying to convince my hubby that we need a fire bowl in our front yard. There is a huge copper one shown in the slideshow of new summer stuff on the ikea website, but of course it isn’t available anwhere on their website. Do y’all think it is a bad idea to put one under a tree canopy?

    Kelli- You’re sweet about our post titles. Being in advertising certainly does something to the way you go about writing headlines…

    Elizabeth- Heck no. A tree canopy sounds like the perfect spot for s’mores a fresco. As long as there’s no earthly way the fire could jump up and catch the tree on fire- it’s not a problem at all if some leaves or buds drop from the tree and make their way into the firepit from time to time. That just adds the flavor of good ol’ mother nature to those marshmallows…

    I’d love to see more pictures of your backyard! The last pic looks like a hidden place because I haven’t seen that spot in the other pics of your backyard.
