An Outdoor Cinema Party with Friends

We love this idea for a get together with friends! Designer and Illustrator Shayna Naran of Mulders Drapery decided to throw herself a birthday party but it wasn't your standard celebration. "Nothing makes me happy like a good old-fashioned movie night and combined with way too many hours spent drooling over wedding blogs and appropriately themed pinterest searches, I decided that I needed to host my own outdoor cinema bonanza for my birthday," she says. 

With the help of her friends, Shayna dragged the furniture and decorations from the house and scattered it over the lawn in a bit of a lounge room scheme. "The carpet was collected from a flooring company who were throwing it out and we stocked up on extra cushions from lifeline, with scrap material covers for aesthetic."

"The bottle wall was a a project I'd been wanting to do for a while, so with generous donations from friends  there were enough bottles and jars to make a recycled curtain," she says. "My family helped cook and craft many of the pretty things from the night and endured my ceaseless distress about the weather and what movie should be screened," she says. Fantastic Mr. Fox, it was! We especially love the handmade popcorn boxes. Photography by Mum and Emily
