The joy of outdoor rooms, the magazines are all showing them. Outdoor Living Spaces, have you ever noticed that they show candles for the lighting of these rooms. Yes, I know they are beautiful, but, if your patio is like mine, the candles melt in the summer sun. The electric lights are nice, but then I had cords running every where. Oil lamps,better take them in at night too.
I came up with a neat idea. Solar. Try to find solar lights with personality! Good luck! So I took some old floor lamps, chandliers, wall sconces and plant and candle holders. Removed all the wiring, sprayed with an outdoor metal paint and added solar lighting. The lights came from a home improvement store. I removed the stakes for placing them in the ground and then crazy glued the lights into place.
Personality, soft glow, and movable! Best part I can still use the candles when company comes.

Great pics of solar lights! Thanks for sharing your ideas! I use these solar cylinders on my outdoor patio. They add a nice ambiance...
That surely is one eco-friendly way to light your garden! But for me, the good part is you will be able to save on utility bills and beautifully light your garden. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone! :-D [Allison Shallenberger]
