Garden Light

Here are some "Make It Yourself" ideas I created and styled for Country Gardens magazine in the Summer 2009 issue. I had a great time shooting this story in VT at Muddy Creek Farm with Jim Westphalen.

I discovered clam baskets make a great
hanging chandelier.

Hang with clothesline from a tree, beams or a pergola over your table. Pad the bottom
with moss and stand pillar
candles inside.
















Love Buckets! use them to make pretty
floating flowerscapes. Add a floating candle.
Place it where your friends will Ohhh and AHHH!!
Flowers will look pretty
for days
















Chandelier globes from the flea market
make festive votives for candles.
Collect them in different shapes and sizes.
I placed them on a metal plant tray lined
with moss as a party idea.






















I created this as another way to bring
candlelight to the garden border. Stacking various
old galvanized containers for height.
The middle is planted with flowers and the
top is filled with water and
floating candles

    Candles in the garden add such a nice touch. These are such awesome and creative ideas. I especially love the clam basket chandelier. Making something so ordinary stand out like that is one of my favorite ways to decorate around the house!

    I love every one of these ideas! I had to do a double take on the third one though. I used some of the same elements that you did, to create my own unique candleholder. You can see what I did here: http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-travel-thursday-9-vintage-sewing.html

    Those are lovely and cute. All are DIY outdoor lights. Easy safe I guess. But its just too costly for everyday use. I guess. it would be perfect for a party.

    These tips to much helpful for party hope I am post for my friend Before buying paint, fabric or floor coverings, always check the colors where they will be used. Pay attention to the color throughout the day and night. Consider which direction your room is facing. East-facing and north-facing rooms will receive bluer light and may benefit from warmer colors and lighting. West- and south-facing rooms may feel more comfortable with a wash of cooler light and color.
