I absolutely love this time of year!! Relaxing on the deck. Outdoor barbecues. Watching the kids play in the backyard. It’s the perfect time of year for a little backyard renovation. One of the easiest (and most cost effective) ways to change the look of a space is to change the lighting. Check out the line of Murray Feiss lighting to see the huge array of styles available.
One of my favorites is definitely this hanging lantern from Murray Feiss. It would fit perfectly into our backyard decor. I love the clean lines giving it a very mission style while at the same time bringing in the feel of the Orient with the almost pagoda like shape of the lantern itself. The patina of the lantern would look beautiful in any setting — it’s not to bright or too dull. Lit up in the evenings it would give a soft romantic glow to any outdoor oasis.
What’s the point in saving the environment if you don’t get out there to enjoy it, right?? lol Don’t forget to use CFL or even better, LED bulbs in your outdoor lighting too to cut your power consumption. It’s amazing what a difference simply changing all of the bulbs in lighting both indoors and outdoors can do to cut back on bills and power usage. If you can’t afford much of a make-over on your backyard this year but want to make a big difference, work on the lighting first and then the garden. Even a small space can have a huge change with the right choice of lights and some flowers and veggies planted in pots throughout the space.
