lantern love…what’s your opinion?

 

Lately I’ve had my eye on lighting fixtures.

The house we’re moving into has a pretty bland entry way. Well, technically it might not even qualify as a entry since the front door opens directly into the stairs. Seriously, it’s the oddest thing.

I can’t figure out if this was the original floorplan or if the previous owners made some quirky, structural changes but the entire area—stairs and entry---will need some work.

This is the lighting fixture I had in the entry of my previous home.

And right now I’m leaning toward something totally different…  maybe an oversized lantern with a vintage vibe. Here’s a few that have caught my eye lately.

Ok. this isn’t exactly a lantern, but I love everything about this entry so I included it.

A few in the kitchen/dining areas…

Well…what do you think?

Are you a fan of  lanterns?
