I have been carrying around this picture for about 2-3 years. Because I was sidelined by cancer I'm only now able to think about finishing our backyard. I love the Belgard pavers and the fire pit. My question is what was the BTUs used for the fire pit? I want a natural looking fire. We live near Mt Hood in Oregon. The fire pit will be located on the hardscape below the eating area of the deck. Thank you so much!!

Help! Not sure about house room layout, especially location of kitchen
Comments (17)Thank you everyone for your comments. We live outside Christchurch, and the house was badly damaged in the quakes here. The post-quake rebuild process could safely be described as slightly chaotic, and the house company I am using are located some distance away (like on the North Island), which is why discussion with the architect has been - em - less than optimal. The architect threw something at me to get me out of my comfort zone I think and this is what's freaking me out! I think the windows on the east side are to come (no reason for them not being there), and probably a skylight in the kitchen roof. The section of land is narrow and steep, (this is a historic port town and with access from the south (where the view is); there is no parking other than on the street (south). Patricia - the laundry doesn't sit right with me either! Looks a bit like it's been glued on the side of the hosue. And it is too small as it is to store coats, shoes etc. This is the access to the back garden - thus the door (also means muddy boots can be dumped when we come in!). Entering a house through a living room is very common over here, especially where space is at a premium (small section, small house footprint)....See MoreKitchen redesign ideas needed

Comments (11)How about some stunning black wall sconce lights along the wall? Here's a very contemporary example... The soft grey is an excellent option, and will look stunning with green foliage against it. To give it a real 'look' I'd suggest installing some kind of black feature - whether this be painting the window frame & putting shutters either side, or the sconce lights, or a modern metal artwork. Perhaps even tall black plant pots either side of the window....See MoreOutdoor Entertaining Area Transformation - Before & After
