Yesterday we wrote about how to create a comfortable outdoor space, and one of our main suggestions was to add a little ambient lighting to your area. Of course the good folks over at Martha Stewart have no shortage of bright ideas, and these imaginative ideas for creating a happy glow outdoors are no exception...

The article contains fifteen lighting ideas for outdoor entertaining, including how-to instructions so you can easily do any or all of them yourself. Check them out at the Martha Stewart website.

Boomer I can't believe how cheap those moroccan lamps are. I love the white ones....look like something West Elm would have. Thanks for the link.

I think the best idea I've seen so far about outdoor lighting was the post about having candles in jars - and then having a lot of jars. Simple, reusable, and pretty much indestructible.

The key is whenever using something chintzy is to use lots of them and they instantly look chic. 10 amber Moroccan candle lights? OK... 100 amber Moroccan candle lights? Cool!
