In honor of Memorial Day this past Monday and the unofficial start of Summer, we’ve got some awesome outdoor furniture as this week’s Product Pick.

Designed by Damien Velasquez, Half13 Furniture is made in the USA, right in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Available in several different styles, Half13 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The indoor furniture is made using mild steel, and the outdoor of stainless steel. Each type of furniture is available in a variety of bright and vibrant colors.

Half13 is awesome outdoor furniture for many reasons – for one, it’s bright colors catch your eye, as well as it’s unique design! At first I thought it was made of mesh, but then from reading more about it discovered that it is actually stainless steel.

I wouldn’t mind having this in my backyard, or in an outdoor lounge area. How about you?

This awesome lamp combines two of my favorite things: hot pink and lucite. Isn’t it fabulous? And guess what? It’s $29.99!! Gotta love Target….

The real reason I was initially drawn to this lamp is it’s similarity to the Bourgie Lamp. If you’re not familiar with the Bourgie Lamp, we had a great post [with tons of pics] on it last year. The Bourgie Lamp can be quite expensive in it’s originality, especially when springing for the gold or silver model. Thus, there are a TON of knock-offs. [Which even Target has!]

Although many people have problems with knock-offs of iconic modern furniture, I’m not always one of them. What I do prefer is this hot pink and lucite lamp, because it offers a similar style but switches it up with the lamp shade texture and the pop of color. And it’s affordability, of course!

What do you think about this lamp? Are you digging it’s $30 style or would you rather splurge on the Bourgie Lamp?

Happy Memorial Day!!

Whether you’re lounging in the pool, attending a fun BBQ or hosting an intimate picnic, we hope you’re having a wonderful holiday! It’s unofficially Summer!

And of course, we honor the true meaning of Memorial Day and remember all of those that have died for our country.

For this week, and likely for the next few weeks, we’re switching up the Weekly Six. Instead, we’ve got an awesome Product Pick for you: Indoor Fairy Lights.

When I saw the line “Indoor Fairy Lights,” I wasn’t sure what to expect. Then as I clicked through to the page, I was completely excited by what I saw – there are so many fun options! First of all, I love the heart wreath of lights. It would be so pretty and romantic in a bedroom. And the idea of lighting up a floral bouquet with these lights? Great idea, especially for wedding centerpieces – to coordinate with the bridal bouquet.

Also included with indoor fair lights are tons of awesome string lights in different shapes, including holiday lights as well in the shape of pumpkins, snowflakes, etc. I remember stringing Christmas lights through my bed posts as a kid – these would be way cooler!

Check out the rest of the Indoor Fairy Lights offered by Lights 4 Fun and tell us which are your favorite!

Have a great holiday weekend!!

Do you have a lot if family photos in your home? I don’t, but I’ve been printing a bunch out for a special event and I’m thinking I want to incorporate a style like these canvases above.

All you do is paint the edges of a canvas black – or whatever color you like – and mod podge the photo to the surface. Then if you prefer, you can mod podge over the photo as well. So easy and the effect looks awesome. These would be great for displaying wedding photos, don’t you think?
