Life By The Pool. . .it's just BETTER!: Outdoor Lighting

Over the weekend a dream of mine came true. We have always had solar lights in our landscaping in the backyard and wired lighting in the front yard. For years I have wanted hard wired in the backyard but the hubs kept saying we didn't have any power back there so it wasn't possible.

Well it happened over the weekend. Yeah baby!!! We now have hard wired lights in the landscaping in the backyard. Rain or shine we have spotlights and pathway lights. We are no longer at the mercy of sunshine days for our lighting. Woo hoo!!! I am over the moon with the way it has all turned out.

The lights are LED so they are nice and bright. These pics do not do it justice. It is so pretty at night and the reflection in the pool is gorgeous.

We added the Edison bulb lights on the pergola.

We placed spotlights on the three shrimp plants against the fence and buried the wires under the rocks. Probably one of our favs.

We have had lights hanging on the patio cover and the shed for years. I've always wanted to add lights over the French doors and we finally did this weekend. I think it looks so much better, don't you? It gives it a more consistent look not to mention the much needed lighting in that area.

We are so excited with how it has all turned out not to mention we have marked a few things off of my "dream/wish" list. :) The hubs is really happy about that!
