I can't think of a more delightful way to spend my endless Summer evenings than under the warm glow of candlelight. There are plenty of trendy ornate chandeliers out there, but I love the sophisticated simplicity of Gump's Iron Candle Chandelier ($99, reduced from $250). Who needs crystals and birds birds birds when you've got timeless, hand-forged iron and classic tapers to light up the night.

I've blogged lots and lots about birds, and even wrote a post entirely full of bird puns. So, it's no secret that I love dem birds. Some of you have expressed that you're not big fans of the bird trend, but I am, so I've decided to cover my ears and show you the Wisteria Perched Bird Candleholders ($16 for two).

Seeing as it's in the 80s in San Francisco these days, I'm looking forward to unwinding on my deck at night and enjoying the nice temperatures and killer views, perhaps with a bottle of vino, too. I'm thinking the Ballard Designs Rose Votive Holders ($9.99 for 4, reduced from $39.99) would be a perky lighting solution when the sun goes down. Since they're resin, not porcelain, I won't have to be as careful with them, which is a plus for outdoor décor.

In my recent Casa Verde, I told you about Danny Seo's eco makeover of Maria Menounos' backyard, and showed you a few products to help you get the look in your outdoor space. Well, lucky you, the JCPenney Capiz Shell Candleholder ($19-$24) that Seo used, which is made of natural capiz shells harvested from the waters of the Philippines, is on sale. It does look fab outdoors on Menounos' farmhouse table, but there's no reason why you can't enjoy one inside as well.

I spotted this project on Craft and thought it would be perfect for Renewal month. Give new purpose to mismatched teacups you have laying around or that you've found at yard sales by turning them into candles. You can use them in your own home or as a thoughtful DIY gift for your friends.
