Design Trends: Outdoor Lighting
Summer time means entertaining outside, from the afternoon into the late evening. Even with the long hours of sunshine, eventually the sun sets and nightfalls. We’ve collected some of our favorite ideas for outdoor lighting design, to brighten and beautify your yard after dark.

Restaurant of the Moment: BO-Beau
BO-Beau
4996 W Point Loma Blvd
San Diego, CA92107
619-224-2884
(Also in La Mesa)
The Cohn Family has done it again! In BO-Beau they have created a warm, hip, inspiring space that begs visitors to come inside and take a seat. The décor is bohemian chic, which creates an atmosphere unlike any other restaurant in town. Countless lights are hung from the ceiling, drinks are served in mason jars and the backyard breeziness makes you feel as if you are enjoying a luxurious picnic under the stars. But don’t worry- if it gets too chilly they offer complimentary blankets and heaters on their patio.
While ordering at BO-Beau, tough decisions must be made since everything on the menu sounds absolutely mouthwatering. One of our all time favorites is the Rotini and Cheese with sweet and spicy bacon. This dish is great because its perfect as an entrée accompanied by their “little gem” salad, or as a starter to share with friends. For more traditional entrées, it is vital to try the Spicy Shrimp Flatbread with avocado and mozzarella, the Burger Royale with pork belly and gouda, or for a healthier fare, the Quinoa and Kale Salad with mango and pecans. After dinner you must save room, because dessert is necessary while dining at BO-Beau. The sweet and fluffy Pumpkin Bread Pudding will remind you of Thanksgivings past and adds to the comforting feel that this French inspired restaurant encompasses. On the whole, BO-Beau is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and a fabulous place to indulge and unwind.
Open for Dinner Tuesday through Sunday.
