Our Backyard In The Fall

Thanks to Brightech for partnering with me on this post. All opinions are my own.

Fall in Spokane is amazing. The weather is crisp and sunny every single day. And the leaves! Oh, the leaves. It seems like every street is covered with a rainbow canopy (and matching carpet) of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple. It really is insanely beautiful. When I lived in Seattle, summer was the best season for getting outside and the weather turned rainy and dreary in the fall. I got used to that, and in my head fall was the start of indoor season. But here, there's so much wildfire smoke in the air during summer that fall is actually the best time for getting outside, taking long walks, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit (cuz there's finally no burn ban!), and having the kids play in the backyard.

String lights add instant ambience

We haven't done much to our yard yet (getting the inside of the house furnished and organized has been our priority). But with the trees in full color and string lights from Brightech hung over our deck, I'm actually really loving our backyard right now, as it is. Could it be even better with the help of a Philadelphia backyard and tree maintenance service? Sure, but we're enjoying it in the meantime.

String lights

I don't need to tell you about string lights. You already know the visual warmth, magic, and ambience they can add to a patio, deck, pergola...really, any space. But let me tell you about these string lights real quick. They're energy efficient LED bulbs patterned after Edison bulbs, so you get the nostalgic warm glow without the energy bills. They're made to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures so you can use them year-round. AND they come in a 48 ft strand! Connecting a bunch of short strands is kinda my pet peeve, so I was really excited about that. One long, continuous string of lights looks so much better!

These string lights are currently on sale for $42.99, which is one of the best prices I've seen for a 48 ft length. I know outside weather is winding down, so maybe your brain has totally moved on. But string lights also give off such a cozy and enchanting vibe when they're hung inside, especially during the holidays! So you might want to snap some of these up while they're such a great deal, and add some magic indoors (you can always string 'em outside next year). They'd be cute in a kid's room or an attic with sloped ceilings...like this!

Besides a wide selection of string lights, Brightech also sells other lighting with on-trend designs at really affordable price points (almost everything is under $100!).
