Lantern Loveliness

We love us some big lanterns!  The kind that make a statement.  When the huge box arrived in the mail and I attempted pulling the fixture from  it's packaging, I had a few "what the heck were you thinking" looks.  I also heard, "A light of that size should be in a foyer!"  I couldn't and wouldn't accept the doubt.  Check out some of our lantern inspiration.

Putting this lantern up was no easy task.

Moral of the blog story?

Do what makes YOU happy!

We couldn't be more pleased with how it looks.

Make people believers...
