Chinoiserie Outdoor Lanterns

Big C and I are going to paint the exterior of the house. I'm lobbying to pay someone else to do it (read: it will get done quickly) but Carter, bless his heart, is DIY all the way on this house. We'll see who wins.

Painting the house also means replacing our outdoor lanterns (we have two on either side of our front door) and I've had my eye on these guys...

Fantastic Chinoiserieness for my front door! These would spraypaint up marvelously as well if you needed another color. They are chic little pavilions to welcome guests and guide your way as you fumble with your keys.

Found them on Shades of Light which, by the way, is such a great catalog. Kudos to them for always having a plethora of handsome items. And it doesn't hurt that they are in my hometown of Richmond. SoL catalog day is always a happy one.
