decor unto themselves as well, albeit more

and frequent dining as they are easy to
wash off.
Let there be light
Popular string lights
(also sometimes called
Cafe Lights) are inex-
pensive and easy to
install in a variety of
ways. Strung in trees
or directly overhead on
a covered patio, these
won't break the bank
and add a good deal
of "wow factor" to your
space.

lights, bullet, garden, wash, flood or down-
light will all produce different results, you
can get really creative here. Find a pro
