Armchair Traveler - Fire and Flame via Las Vegas

Loewes Lake Las Vegas Luxury Hotel Fire Pits at Home Infatuation BlogLoews - Lake Las Vegas

Fire pits, torches, lanterns and candles add drama, romanticism, light and warmth to an outdoor space.  We went armchair traveling this week for fire and flame design inspiration.  The use of gas lines and denatured alcohol as fuel for fire pits and torches opens up your design options.  As you'll see this week, hotels and spas have colored way outside the lines when designing with fire and flame and we love the dramatic results.
