A national survey reveals that almost one in seven households has a fire installation in the backyard. Freestanding backyard fireplaces have long been popular in Marin, where our temperate climate allows us to enjoy them evenings year-round. However, new designs like Restoration Hardware’s sleek “firetable”—equal parts focal point, heat generator and drink holder—are breathing fresh design into the outdoors.
