That’s Pinterest-ing! When dusk falls light it up outside!

by / Wednesday, 19 June 2013 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION, That's Pinterest-ing!

A few of you may know about the unwanted guest, I was confronted with earlier this spring.  Yes this is a FOX and yes it was in my back yard!  Not a good thing 🙁

Visions of chilling on the deck didn’t look so good.

The authorities informed me that it might have a den under the deck and recommended setting a trap or have patience that it might move on.

There was no den and as far as we can see it has moved on…YES!!!!!  Hallelu-yer!!!!

As for today’s post, I love summer evenings and try to maximize my enjoyment outside as much as possible. So when dusk falls, why go inside……. light up your surroundings.

Here are 5 ways to do it stylishly.

1. String lights on your outdoor umbrellasource

2.  Use Outdoor lanterns to create relaxing vignettes

My intern Grace and I created this lantern tree…look for the step by step guide in our new How-to series starting next month 3. Indoor/outdoor Candles (battery operated) add a beautiful glow

4.  Flood and path lights  can enhance foliage and keep you from tripping over yourself (guilty)

5.  Citronella torches add light and keep the mosquitos under control Combine candles, lanterns and torches in varying heights to add ambience and function

What’s your favorite way to extend the evening hours outside?
