I’m quite smitten with string lights and if I could figure out how to incorporate them into every room in my house, I would! I just hung a couple of strands in my back yard and I love the magical, cozy element they add. There are so many style of string lights available but I love some of the unique DIY string light ideas I’ve seen.
