  1. here's the deal ...

    first off ... let's hook up ... I KNOW we've gotta live close)

    second ... I think some different chairs ( more vintage...or a glider ...or two)
    ... then some structure...like a great old table for setting drinks on ..or some cast iron planter filled with ferns ( away from the fire, of course)

    I can see this all changed up in my head ... for not alot of $$

    third ...redesign is my favorite thing to do, in case you haven't noticed)
    ha

  2. Its a cross between #1 and #9. I love the height of the fire pit in #1 because it's not too tall and also you won't fall into it(the flat ones kind of look dangerous to me), I love #9 because of the stone rustic benches, You would have automatic seating without dragging out more chairs.(and you do get some crowds with some very talented singers) You have some awesome rocks in your backyard if you could use them in some way.I also love the floors in #6& 7. See you soon

  3. I am going to have to agree with Gina. I am liking 1 and 9. I am seeing some crazy people falling into the flat ones. Although, I like how #9 is enclosed...makes it more personal. Where are you going to burn your big stuff? Will you have something seperate for that? Gina is also right, the singers are quite talnted! Looking forward to making more memories around the new and improved!

  4. I like the old one the best. It is much better for burning up yard waste.

  6. Ba hahahha... Mike's comment just made me DIE laughing!

    I acutally prefer #2 and #5. Two is taller so that really little kids could be near it and it is also ROUND, which I think is the best shape so everyone can be warm! The flagstone in five reminds me of the rest of your landscaping though. I think the materials in this one would make it look like something that has been there since the house was built and well thought out.

    What would you do with the yard waste though?! :)
