cool summer nights and finished firepit

Filed Under: Makeovers, Outdoors, Projects

We have been having some REALLY weird weather here lately. On Friday it was cold!?!? Growing up in Texas, this is very strange to me, but hey I'm rolling with it because soon it will be so hot I'll wish it was cool. It made for a perfect night for an outdoor fire and our new firepit has been used so many times already.

Lately, I've been taking pieces apart and using the differnt pieces together.Â Don't ask me why??Â I'm just weird like that!Â I've had a round kitchen table, but with it's four legs, it was hard to sit around.Â So, I found two tables and combined them...
