Can't Get Enough...

Every time I see a foyer, kitchen, office space, or bedroom with a lantern... I swoon!
What is about me and lanterns - I'm obsessed with them!  They bring so much timeless character to a room; they don't shout out at you, but they bring the perfect amount of balanced dimension to any style:

Nothing is more complimentary than vintage chandeliers coupled with lanterns!
They go with everything!  When in doubt - go with the lantern!

    Can't argue, love lanterns and if they are older, even better!! Beautifuil images, a foyer is the first chance to wow someone....so it pays to really take great care when decorating it!

    Beautiful lanterns and beautiful interiors - all of them. I am also a huge fan of lanterns and I like these because they are not overly ornate. Lovely post.
