Ranch House Redo | Light It Up

This month, as part of the Lowe’s Creative Ideas Network I had the choice to update some outdoor lighting. Perfect timing for sure, because our front yard was looking pretty dim. We haven’t had a chance to update the landscaping yet, but that didn’t stop us from adding some path and accent lighting. The yard looks beautiful at night now all lit up.


We chose two different types of solar lights. A great modern-style path light that’s super affordable at less than $5 a light.
  
And a more focused flood light to light up our address numbers as well as a great tree in the middle of our yard.

Here’s the before image. The only light we had was the small light near the door and the lantern on the brick wall. Not too inspiring.


Here’s a dark view. All lit up! Like Christmas šŸ˜‰



A view of the new lights during the day.


A shot of the spot light on the tree in the front.



And a nice shot of the light that shines up on our address numbers (blurred out).

Now it’s time to update the landscaping to match! And the paint, and the…well, I’ll save that for another time šŸ˜‰

    Heya! The link to the flood light doesn't work – was wanting to see which one you're using – it's super bright and Lowes has WAY too many choices!

    Thanks!
