Getting settled into our new house has been a lot of fun. The biggest remodeling and updating projects have been completed, so it is time to focus on the little touches that make our house feel like home. Our entryway has been completely empty for months, as I couldn't come up with anything that fit the small wall space we have right inside the front door. Thank you Meg Caswell from HGTV Design Star -- I loved your lantern wall idea!
This was so easy to re-create at home. I stained a scrap piece of wood I found in our garage for the board to hang from. I think it would look great with basic white paint as well. Then, I searched for lanterns online, and found a few different sizes and styles that I liked in matte black. I found 2 of the styles very reasonably priced at IKEA. I bought the matte black chain and clips at Menards. My husband hates having holes in our walls, so I hang absolutely everything with 3M Command Strips. The hardest part of this project was getting the board level! I love how these look with small tea-lights lit in them, for family and friends to see right when they walk through the front door.
