OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT

Being in San Francisco there is much more sunshine then in New York or Seattle.  I wake up, open the french doors to my apartment, and take in the sun each morning.  This morning I began to think about how much fun it would be to host an outdoor movie night.  I realize it isn't spring yet, but we are close, and of course I have started to design it in my head.  That's what I do with my down time!

Here are a few inspirational ideas!

Isn't it fun to use a vintage card catalogue to offer your guests condiments for the burgers...


Of course, every soiree is a chance to create the perfect environment!


Love the rugs.  Your guests can pull them down and use them to kick back and watch their favorite flick.


A bit more casual, and I love the vintage move projector, great way to add a pop of fun decor.  



Another inexpensive way to put together sheets tied in twine for your guests to grab and take a seat.


Now this is my style!


What a fun way to create seating for kids, I want one. ;)


A fun way to create a popcorn bar...


I love me some retro candy...


A bit higher end way to present, hello, martini's, popcorn, and caviar! 

So, when it warms up in your area, select your favorite films, get your friends together, and curl up under the stars.

I simply ADORE this idea! So fun and un-ordinary. I'd like to do something like this for Spring too! Only trouble is, my lawn is terrible! I'm going to have to have a gardner come in and make it less hideous before I invite people over to lounge around on it!

There's just something about watching a movie outside, isn't there? We have a drive-in theater within an hour's drive, so we took the kids last summer, and they can't wait to go back. We might just have to make our own at home--thanks for the great ideas!
