Light up your life!

©Elle M Photography
The dark fall and winter evenings can be a downer for some people. Inside, we can turn on all the lights, light a fire, and bring ourselves out of the doldrums. What about outside?
Nothing is more inviting or welcoming than outdoor lighting. Inviting for us, because it brings the outdoors in. For guests, it is a welcoming sight.
Lighting can bring your patio to life during the dark, cold season ahead of us.

Du interiors suggest you string a set of outdoor lights across your patio furniture to create a festive look.  Lights in or over your evergreen pots and planters will extend your indoor living space creating a cheerful environment. Adding candlelight indoors puts everyone in a holiday mood.

If you have a deck with or without a staircase, you can easily wrap the railings with outdoor patio lights that you and your guests will appreciate when you are indoors.

Vertical flat surfaces like fences and walls are hard to decorate but you can make a waterfall of lights by stringing them horizontally or vertically across the wall. Your patio will become brighter and, here again, you will visually extend your indoor space.
Other outdoor lighting accessories to consider are wireless candles, lanterns, globes and lit sentiments.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Creative table tops add to dining experience

www.jellinadetmar.nl Whether it’s tea for two on an island in Capri or dinner for 10 in your home, a creative table setting adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. You can play with so many ideas, a Mediterranean theme, or Mexican or African…just about any country on the globe has cultural objects. If you do not have the accessories to start with, begin collecting whenever you see something that would work. It’s amazing what you can find shopping on your own house if you think out of the box. I always find something that I purchased on my travels like wraps from Africa or straw beach mat from Mexico as a table runner, bracelet from Hawaii as napkins holder, etc. Scarf from South of Africa Candles? Always! Add votives to take your centerpiece from day to night. You can play with colors and different heights to make the table décor interesting. You could go seasonal and use greenery in your garden or find some objects at the local nursery or your supermarket. A li...
