9 Ways to Decorate With Patio Lights

Decorating with Patio LightsNow that the warm weather is finally here, our back patio feels like an extra room because we spend so much time out there. This year I want to add some mood lighting out there using patio lights for those long summer nights. I’ve always loved the globe-style lights, but that isn’t your only option!
