It took a couple of summers, but this year we finished up the fireplace, pergola and pathway. Darrell also got a harvest table built so that we can have meals outside under the tall trees. A hammock in the shade has been another favorite spot!
Our second summer we made do with the fireplace sitting on cinder blocks
Here is the man with the plan!
Its all right there on one piece of paper...
Yep...thats the blueprint!!
Taking shape
Getting the stone work in place.
Before n After
It was given a name this summer as we had friends over and the little girls asked to move the coffee table and dance to the song "Happy"by Pharrell Williams...there is a part of the song that says " clap along if you feel like a room without a roof"! and that is how our fireplace area got its name!! We had lots of fires and smores, and dancing , and playing "Go Fish" and just enjoying beautiful summer evenings with friends, neighbors and family! Summers on the prairies definately have their perks!
Here is a sneak peek at how I decorated the room without a roof with some fall fun!

Wow WoW WOW! That is just one amazing "room without a roof" that you designed and built! No more incredible place to have family memories than a "room" like that! I just love love your idea, and want to show it to my husband. Maybe someday we can have something similar! I would probably need a roof on mine though, because of our winters here... but your wonderful space is nothing short of spectacular! Love it! :)

I absolutely love everything about this room without a roof! It's amazing! I hope you have many hours of pleasure out there Dawna.
I just love your room without a roof! Now I have that song in my head too! What a treasure to have a hubby who can do that work. It looks beautiful.
Love your room without a roof! I'm not so sure it would work so well in the Fraser Valley (with all our rain)...but I am thinking you will spend many enjoyable hours out there!
This is gorgeous! We have an open patio that we had installed last Fall. I have been dying to have my hubby do a fireplace too!!! I will show him this! Right now we have a little one like you had:)

Hello, I just love your new outdoor space. The fireplace is just awesome. Love the mosaic and images. I am sure you and your family will enjoy this lovely outdoor room. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
I love those pictures. One of my favorite things about the country life is being able to sit in those chairs with an outdoor fire. We roast wienies, we roast marshmallows, we tell scary stories, regardless if it is summer or winter, that is our favorite thing to do at night. I wouldn't trade this for the city like for a billion dollars.
