Modern Concrete Outdoor Solar Light Hack.



 So I'm always looking for ways to add some sparkle to the yard at night with lighting.  As we are sans outdoor outlets, solar is the solution.  Today we have a concrete outdoor solar light hack with, ya know, a modern aesthetic. 
Fun, right"
Sure, I took a perfectly acceptable garden path light and made it more expensive hahaha but in the end, it's super cool custom for less than buying a bunch of predetermined-design ones to drape the fence.  And bonus, it's modern which is my palate.
Indoors, light fixtures are the jewelry of the room.  Outdoors, ehh, maybe not as much the point there since it's more one of practicality than anything. 
Still though, outdoor lighting adds loads of nighttime appeal to a garden, yard, or landscape, deck, patio, or balcony, sculpting and shaping with beams or speckles of light, bringing warmth where darkness prevails.
