Garden Lanterns

I was given these lanterns by a friend who won them at a steak night and didn't really want them.  The second I saw these I thought - SPRAY PAINT!!

I really didn't care for the colors, and I didn't like that they were all different.

I thought they'd look much better with some Krylon Ocean Breeze!



And they did!!!!

In the picture, the fence looks shabby chic, in real life, it just looks shabby. lol

Bricks that we have for the front flower bed project make great displays for the lanterns!   

Love these!  I have them out on the boyfriend's patio right now, and want to put citronella tea lights in them to help keep bugs away. :)

    That color is perfect. I want to paint some picket fencing this color and put it behind my rose bushes.
