A few weeks ago my landlord had our trees pruned and it's amazing the difference it made on my patio. It really opened up the patio area once those low-hanging branches were cut! It inspired me to pull out my Christmas lights and wrap the branches. It will be so wonderful to sit out there in the evenings with all the white lights! It's looks so magical now!

What a wonderful idea! It looks great, especially with your fairy house under the tree.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love outdoor lights! ♥
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful and so romantic! But I'm curious, did you climb up in that huge tree yourself???
ReplyDeleteThat is SO pretty! It makes me wish I had a back yard to decorate.
ReplyDeletePerfect! Looks awesome. Sincerely, Susan
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty, Cindy! I love using white lights outside in the summer months. I have had the inside of my gazebo ringed with them for years {although, I think a strand needs to be replaced}.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Cindy. I think you captured "the blue hour" in that first photo. I learned about this photography phenom from Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Just did a post today about the Blue Hour. . .
ReplyDeleteThe lights really add a lot of ambiance, Cindy! Very pretty!

Oh how stunning! Magical is definitely the right word here. You didn't climb the tree did you??
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. It looks like one of those romantic outdoor resturants where you can sit for hours and think about how nice it would be to have your back yard look like that. Only it IS your backyard. You have inspired me!

Let me know when you move out, I want to live there, and don't forget to leave the lights!!
ReplyDeleteCarol
No, I didn't climb the tree, just a ladder and I wrapped and wrapped and wrapped those lights around. It took awhile to do but it was worth it!
ReplyDeleteHello!This is a dream!
ReplyDeleteLook, I can see Thinkerbell between
the branches....there!

I'm de-lurking Cindy to say how lovely the garden looks. I've followed your blog for a while now and your decorating style is so inspirational. I'm shortly moving and I know that a lot of what I do is going to be influenced by you. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteI want to move in:) I love it. I hope it makes you smile like it does me.
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteLove it! Beautifully done! What a difference the lights make, and for such a reasonable price, to boot.

You have the knack for making areas beautiful. I really need to work on my back porch area. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I want to come over!
ReplyDeleteThey look magical Cindy and a great way to add some more beauty to everyday life, don't you think? Loved the post of your drive-bys. My favorite was the dark green shingle/craftsman style home.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a beautiful and romantic setting! I would spend all of my time there. I would have to have a laptop for certain.
ReplyDeleteI just love this, beautiful!
