I am as traditional as they come, and you should see what I chose for our patio oroject we did 2 years ago! We already had a wood burning fire place on our covered porch, but we added a gas fire pit to our patio bc we were extending the ng line for our built in grill anyway. When the contractor brought all the samples of rocks and glass...I couldn’t stop playing with the light blue...it was gorgeous! Our house is white painted brick, and we were constructing the seating wall, fire pit and grill/kitchen out of brick we planning to paint white to match the house...so I thought...this will be pretty! And it is! It looks like a water feature! It so isn’t like me to do something this out of the box, but that’s part of why I love it!

Here’s a pic! This is right after it was finished...paint needs touching up.
