String Lights Up – Ready To Party?

The string party lights are up! It’s been a busy DIY weekend at our house. One summer housing project is complete. We have finally completed the installation of our outdoor party string lights and I am loving them. The Mr. is a fabulous do it DIY guy. This weekend’s project took a good month or more. Rainy weather and sunny beach trips, but it’s all done. I’m looking forward to drinks and dinners on the patio as the weather starts to cool for fall.

String party lights add just the right ambience for an evening cocktail or dining under the stars.

 

The string party lights in the trees were this summers project. They were purchased from Lowe’s as a Christmas present. Not that it takes us a while to get things done, but we had several other projects in the cue to be completed first.

The ground lighting on the paths and uplighting were projects from years past.

I have always told my real estate buyers and sellers that it is a good idea to do at least on home project a year.  If you can do this your home will never feel dated when you are ready to sell and move on.

Refreshments on the patio

Well, I have shown you the patio after dark. I thought you might like a peek at it in the afternoon.

My daytime updates were pillow replacements. I found these neat ones at Tuesday Morning and Home Goods.

  1. Your yard and table looks wonderful. Why are you sitting there all by yourself? If you lived closer, I would join you.
