Hanging Lantern ~ Turquoise is the New Neutral

 Well, it took a week, two electricians, two blown dimmer switches, 
two trips to Lowe's and quite a bit of puzzled head-scratching.



























(Such is life when your house is almost 100 years old 
and your wiring has been improvised by many owners.)

But, my flea market find lantern now hangs happily above the dining room table.






























I think I like how the antique brass patina blends with
the wall color . . . turquoise is the new neutral, right?






























I think I like how the glass reflects light
and keeps the lantern from being too visually heavy.



Yep, I think I like it.
