It is officially the first day of summer here at our house. The kids are out of school, both my biological ones and the 500+ others I work with from August to May. Personally, I still have one more month to go, but just the thought of work without the hustle and bustle created from shuffling from one class to another, the looming deadlines of projects and papers, and the regular ringing of the school bells kind of makes me think it is summer. And that makes me excited!!! Summer brings a more relaxed attitude, thoughts of upcoming vacations, and time to re-connect with friends. I am entertaining the idea of entertaining this summer. I am inspired by these beautiful outdoor spaces.
I absolutely love the use of cut wood as pedestals for the flowers and candles. This I can do!
And look at this with its adorable chandelier and roaring fire...probably not happening this summer in Louisiana, but beautiful just the same!
I absolutely love, love,love the clear glass globes hanging like little stars from the branches over head.
I think it must be the unexpected lighting paired with the soft patina on the worn wood pieces that keeps drawing me in to this outdoor space.
Whether it is a soiree for 20 or a party for 2, I am looking forward to slowing down a bit, surrounding myself with people I love, and enjoying at least one evening beneath some twinkle lights this summer.
