Lanterns in Bedrooms


I adore the lantern in our dining room, and have given it a spot on the short list of things I will want to grab should our house catch on fire. (It's morbid to have such a list, I know.) It's definitely coming with us to our next house, where the trouble will be choosing a room to put it in. Over a small dining table? Yes. Living room? Yes. Bedroom? Also, yes!

Jennifer, I adore the lantern in your DR too!

How do you search for them? eBay? Antique markets? I'd love some tips!

You just gave me some great ideas on a color for our bedroom... love the color in the first and third images! And yes, I do realize that has nothing to do with what this post was actually about. Love the lanterns, too! A very cozy way to have do overhead lighting without resorting to a ceiling fan (which Adam loves) or a chandelier (which I love).

Love.

And, now I'm thinking I should really make a list of things to grab if the house is burning down.

Two pugs. Check.
Apple computer with all photos. Check.
Camera. Check.
School desk from Ryan's grandpa. Check.

Do I get to use a shopping cart or anything? I mean, hypothetically? ;)

The Cottage Living Idea House in New Orleans had the most precious lanterns in the family room/dining room. They were made my an amazing local artist. The magazine is now history, but I cut out the photo for my "wish notebook!" Beautiful!
