For as long as she can remember (or the last few years anyway), savannah has wanted strings of globe lights in her outside space. After reading about the experience our friend Paige over at Come and Take It Blog had with the solar powered lights at Target, and seeing how well the solar powered lights in our yard and our landlords’ yard worked, we decided to give them a go. THEY ARE FANTASTIC.

We cut some 2x4s in half, painted them white to match the railing on the deck and zip-tied them to the existing posts so they can be removed later (since we’re renting) and they instantly transformed the deck into a patio dreamland. (Okay, maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration–but they’re really cool).

One thing that should be noted is after a huge storm, one of the panels apparently had some water damage, but Target exchanged them for us no problem… so moral of the story is take them down or cover the panels if a big thunderstorm is headed your way. Enjoy the photos below!
