RISMEDIA, June 15, 2007-OldHouseWeb.com advises old-home owners to invest in an outdoor fireplace.

In “Outdoor Comforts,” columnist Gail McCauley recommends, “Instead of a costly vacation this year, why not invest in an outdoor living space that exudes the ambiance of a permanent vacation in your very own backyard?”

OldHouseWeb.com is a how-to site offering ideas, articles and resources to old-house enthusiasts such as how to emphasize the appeal of an old home by adding simple outdoor elements.

McCauley also points out, “The popularity of outdoor fireplaces offering warmth and ambiance continues to surge.”

The American Society of Landscape Architects has put fire pits, outdoor kitchen areas and outdoor fireplaces at the top of their list of biggest trends for 2007.

Old-home enthusiasts can learn more about how an outdoor fireplace can add to the charm of an old house by looking at pictures posted by others with a similar passion. OldHouseWeb.com allows visitors to post images of their own homes as well as browse through images of other people’s homes and see firsthand how an outdoor fireplace or outdoor kitchen area can be used to enhance the overall look and feel of an old house.

A recent survey by the Hearth, Patio & Barbeque Association, found that an outdoor living space is an important home element to nearly 80% of Americans. Currently, OldHouseWeb.com is featuring a product listing of outdoor fireplace models available for homes of every kind. From grills to fireplaces to chimineas, OldHouseWeb.com offers detailed guidance on these popular additions to outdoor home life.
