  1. Wow, love the planters so much! These will make the garden so awesome. 🙂 I really like the solar lights as well, very clever decor.

  2. I’ve always been really impressed by the use of outdoor lighting in design, and my wife loves ideas off of Pintrest, so this is literally the perfect article for us. We’ve been trying to figure out how to make our back yard look a little more alive (especially at night), and we decided that lighting is going to be the way to do it. That only left us needing to find an idea that worked. I really like the idea of adding those light strands to trees, but I get the feeling my wife is going to like one of the many other options. But at least we have options now! Thanks for sharing.

  3. I love these outdoor lighting ideas. I think the option to have in your outdoor space will depend on what kind of mood you are looking to set. Thanks for sharing!
