One Kings Lane Style Spotlight Outdoor Rugs: a sacred backyard space

MoD Must Haves

stylish, tactile, novel 

for backyard lovers

Sometimes I come home from work exhausted.  I would just love a space in my backyard where I can quiet down from my day, relax, reflect and feel centered; basically a sacred space. Well, drinks usually come to mind too. Next spring we plan this kind of a renovation and it just so happens that One Kings Lane asked me to participate in their Style Spotlight Outdoor Rugs campaign asking me to share what my outdoor space would like with one of their rugs. 

Thinking about how my outdoor space should be a seamless extension of my homes modern interior, I started to peruse the One Kings Lane site for some key  items that can help transform my yard into a dreamy retreat. 

Besides lots of bug spray, all it takes is some awesome lighting, a fire pit, a bar and a cool swing. See the One Kings Lane picks below:

#1) Bette Outdoor rug

#2) Ray 5 piece set

#3) Amelie bar cart

#4) Brooklyn Lights

One Kings Lane: Light Up Your Look

Alice Chandelier by Crystorama

Lighting to a room is like that piece of jewelry that pulls your outfit together. It can transform a room from amazing to spectacular. One Kings Lane asked me to think about my favorite chandelier from their site and my favorite piece of statement jewelry as part of their Light Up Your Look campaign. I decided to get a bit nostalgic and pull out my Mother's beautiful vintage 14kt gold charm bracelet that she passed down to me. Besides holding meaning to me, the gold vintage finish paired with the intricate detailing prove to be a perfect piece of inspiration for this challenge.

If love is in the details, then the Alice Chandelier and Light Pendant Chandelier by Crystorama are perfect. I love the layering and connections giving exceptional texture and dimension, just like the charms in my Mothers bracelet. Both fixtures are sophisticated and timeless and can equally work in a modern or traditional decor.

And the gold finish on the Antique Gold 6-Light Crystorama fixture couldn't be more glamorous. I used to be more of a silver person but there is something about gold that is so luxurious. It is an effective way to bring on the bling in an interior.
