Have a sit for a bit. We have a story to share.
They’re often the bookend for the best of days.
They can take a rainy day and make it feel all sunny inside … and out.
They’re by our side all through the years.
They crackle. They sparkle. They rejuvenate and inspire.
What we’re talking about is the fire.
Just as vast and vigorous as our great state, a place by the fire has its own personality; this space is as unique as our very own fingerprints!
They’re found inside and out. They’re tiny, grand, quietly simple, and sometimes over-the-top unabashedly “Austintatious.” They’re made from a wide array of materials like stone, brick, metal, glass and even wood itself. Sometimes they’re just naturally born from a small circle of dirt edged with a few stones.
While they’re often best thought of during the chilly days of fall and winter, we admire the fire all year ’round!
Come see why “fire” is the best four letter word right up there with “love” and “home.” Let’s have a look at some of the grandest, simplest, most awesome fire spots right here in Central Texas.
Uniting the inside and outside is this ultra-awesome fireplace. Listen closely – it’s playing Austin’s soul.
