Home inspiration: Fairy lights

This Parisian family draped fairy lights over their artwork. Pretty, don't you think? They must give such a warm glow at night.

P.S. This polaroid heart was from the same fabulous apartment.

  15. Remember the condo we rented in Florida that you visited? It was the first year you came down. the owners had put fairy lights on the plants in the living room and they looked great! Very pretty and romantic. This makes me want to put white lights on the plant on our lanai in Fl!

  21. I ♥ this.
    I used to keep xmas lights under my bed. It creates such a warm magical glow. The only drawback is that you can (if you're stumbly) occasionally step on a teeny bulb and break em.

  28. Oh I love fairy lights - if I could (read: make sure two year old doesn't use them to play with) I would have them everywhere. My friend used to have them outside and inside and use with candles so there was no need for regular lights x
