Summer Evenings...

Now that summer has officially arrived, I have a strong urge to buyout the outdoor decor sections of Pottery Barn and TJ Maxx: an outdoor dinner party with twinkling lights and lanterns filled with candles is definitely on my mind. There is something just so relaxing about sitting outside on a hot summer evening, enjoying food and wine with friends and family . . .

I particularly love the new lanterns that Pottery Barn is featuring. Lanterns are nice because the candles in them won't blow out at the slightest breeze.


This DIY lantern project from Southern Living also seems fairly simply and so charming. All you need are jars, wire, and some embellishments to add some sparkle.

I just love so many of the things at Pottery Barn. I wish I could do my whole house over with all their things, furniture to accessories!

Cute DIY project!

I hear you about relaxing over a few drinks outside on the patio after a long week. Love the same decor from those sites!

I know Kathy - I'd love to just transplant a page from the PB catalog right into my bedroom!
