Building An Outdoor Fireplace (with tips from a professional mason!)

Building an Outdoor Fireplace (with tips from a professional mason!)
#outdoorfireplace #outdoorliving #outdoorfireplacedesign

I am SO EXCITED to share our biggest project yet!!! Our outdoor fireplace with bench seating is pretty stinking amazing and we’re sharing the entire process in this video. I designed this outdoor fireplace to complement our home’s French colonial exterior. We’re going for an “old world French countryside” feel and I think we nailed it!

We hired a man named Tony to lay the brick and stone and he shared a ton of great tips and tricks, drawing from his 40+ years of experience as a third generation stone mason! (And he was a real sport, answering my many, MANY questions, all while having a camera in his face the entire time! Thank you Mr. Tony!) I’m thrilled he was so generous in sharing his knowledge and skill so I can pass it onto you! (If you’re in the central Kentucky area and are on the hunt for a mason, I’d be happy to give you his info.)

Watch the video to see how this beautiful outdoor fireplace came together – we’re covering the site prep, roughing in, stone veneer installation, and more. If you have any questions, drop them in the comment section below! And if you enjoyed this video, I’d love for you to share it! Thanks so much for watching!

  • Hi Jen! Been searching for an outdoor fireplace design as yours. Wondering if you can share any of the design prints you have? Thank you in a advance. If your unable I understand. Looks fantastic and enjoy!!!!!

  • Great fireplace! So, the space behind the back of the fireplace (smoke shelf) is left hollow?

  • Lot of unnecessary talk. Without that the video would have been much better

  • Great inspiration, it came out beautiful. Can you please share the name & color of the stone?, it’s stunning!!
