A Cheap New Marshall's Lantern

Oops, I did it again...
Remember when I spray-painted 2 Lanters I got from Ross a while back? If you missed that post you can check it out here Lantern Transformation. Well I found yet another pretty lantern on "Clearance" at Marshalls, it's good sized and it was only 20 Dollars.


I loved the natural wood and the large size, but the top was really light-silver and cheap looking. So I got out the Spray Paint once again.
All you need is Painters Tape, some papers to cover and Spraypaint

I used a dark grey spray paint from Rust-Oleum but in the pictures it's hard to tell the difference, oh well.....It looks better in person
After I was done I coudn't figure out a good place for it. I finally decided on the guest bedroom (FOR NOW)...LOL

What do you think?
That's all I got to blog about this weekend peeps. I've been busy pulling weeds and chores all day. Tomorrow is "Pressure Washing" day if the weather permits! I need to get that PACIFIC NORTHWEST GREEN off  the front and back porch.

    This lantern is soooo much better with the top painted. I can't believe you got such a large one for $20! What a great deal. I love your big basket as bedside table too.

    I look forward to reading your posts on Tuesdays With a Twist as one of the co-hosts. Your lanterns have inspired to use them with the flowers on my front porch. Now to go shopping and find three for the porch. Thanks so much for sharing, and keep it up, new follower via email.
