Summer's Last Hurrah

This weekend marks the symbolic ending to summer. With Labor Day weekend upon us many are thinking of celebrating with friends and family. Whether you are celebrating with a traditional backyard BBQ or having some friends over for an indoor dinner party, sprucing up your home with some festive accents is more than appropriate. For both decorations, whether indoors or outdoors, lighting plays a significant factor in your decor. Bright and well lit spaces offer your guests a happy and energetic vibe. One way to add some easy (and inexpensive) charm to any space is with the use of paper lanterns and rope lights, these are easy to install and great for those hard to reach areas. To add some color into the mix, simply swap out your regular bulbs that are in your preexisting fixtures for colored bulbs. These bulbs add a magical effect to any environment.

So get started on your preparations and give your guests an atmosphere that is both warm and inviting. Watch the video below for tips on how to build a backyard that is ready for any event!
