al fresco dining {by light}
I am finally getting to spend sometime on my deck with a glass of wine at the end of the day and wish that I had a more glamorous form of lighting then my current flood lights, perhaps a lovely chandelier? I just so prefer a soft glow when outdoors in the evening--whether the light source has a more modern edge...

How do you light your outdoor living and dining areas? Also, I am completely crazy about the first outdoor space and you can see more of it right here--it is part of a wonderful patio makeover.

We don't have a yard since we live in an apartment, but we have rooftop access with a view of the whole city--I'm dying to host a party up there, complete with lots of hanging lanterns and christmas lights@
Hope you have a great 4th!
we have a little sitting area where we have a large chiminea and patio chairs with side tables. it's in the corner of our garden, and just last summer we'd put a short panel of fenced latticework to enclose the area a bit more.
we wanted to maintain an intimate atmosphere, so we wove all-white outdoor christmas lights in amongst the ivy and clematis growing up the fence - the green cords blend in well with the plants, and the little lights provide just enough twinkle to enhance the mood.
