Work has officially begun on the patio!
I have several men working furiously in the attempt of trying to complete the project in a time frame of two days. Sorta crazy right? The landscaper stated that the project could be finished in two days — I am merely going along with his time frame. I don’t want y’all to think I am a male version of Naomi Campbell regarding domestic help. For the record, I have never thrown my cell phone at anyone in my life……a snowball with a rock in the middle perhaps…but never a cell phone. I have my limits.
But I am rambling…..as I mentioned yesterday, part of the patio “refreshing” is adding a fire bowl to fight off the Northern California chilly evenings. In my dream world, I would be able to purchase this beauty from Restoration Hardware….

In reality, I would be lucky to get a stockpot with firewood for our existing budget. However, I do think I have been able to find a fire bowl that fits my style quotient and space requirements from Garden.com for under $250:
Fingers crossed that there is enough left over in the budget to snag it along with some butterfly chairs to create a secondary seating area.
As I wait to see how the budget washes out, I can still daydream about fire bowls as if money was no issue….

And with this post, I have just invited myself over to your house for drinks and eats by your firebowl. See you soon!
Why do you do this to me? Now I NEED a firebowl and am already planning…
My only question is where and how many? Oh yes and the lottery too!
The one from Marvel Building looks like a melting Jetsons-style chair. Or maybe a slightly melted Werther’s caramel candy. Ha! Either way, I love it (and all of these)! We’ve been considering building a firepit in the yard but now I’m thinking that a fire bowl on the patio might be even better…
I thought about a fire pit but that is so permanent, so a fire bowl allowed me more flexibility.
At least you have a place to put a fire bowl or pit. LOL Especially love the one from ConcreteWorks. Good luck on this project. Just keep the end project in sight.
