Summer is almost here, so I am back with another blog post to get you excited to get outside in the bright summer sun! Yes, your outdoor garden is one thing I will help you tackle this month, but stayed tuned for that in a later blog post.

This week I will show you how to incorporate some art to your garden to give it a unique and creative look. After these ideas you will want to spend the entire summer enjoying your amazing creation.

1. Mosaics

A perfect way to incorporate a lot of color into your yard. There are many different ways you can add mosaics such as....

ON A WALL ON STAIRS (my personal fav!)

2. Lighting Sculptures

Lighting is a great way to make your art shine for those late summer nights outside.

3. Mirror Art

Now, this is one that is not something people tend to think of to do in a backyard, but I promise you it is one that you should definitely try out! Mirrors are amazing to add to a space because it makes the area look larger and it will magnify the greenery in your yard-- creating the illusion that there is more than what meets the eye.

PRO TIP: A pond is a creative way to add a reflective aspect as well!
