I love lantern pendants!

One of my favorite lighting options of all time are lantern pendants. My absolute favorites are blown glass caged pendants like this one via sfgirlbybay:



If you love the look but cannot shell out big money for a real vintage, Anthropolgie has some great options right now...




In their current state, they are just for candles - but that doesn't mean they won't work as pendant lights. All you need is this:



A little chain and a ceiling canopy kit/hardwire light kit, like this, and you're set! A pretty, inexpensive alternative to the real thing :)

I also love outdoor fixtures inside.
Great lighting sets the tone for the entire room...I love that rustic table.

WOW! What a gorg inspiration picture! I love the hint of turquoise in the glass of the lantern!
Such a great idea to add a light kit to an outdoor fixture! Genius!

This one is a vintage one but I still love it! I'd so put this in the corner of a baby room!
