Laterns!

This past weekend Jeremy and I were feelin kinda bored... So what do young and crazy 20-somethings do when they're lookin for something fun to do? Go to Bed, Bath & Beyond and Lowes of course, I mean we do live in the suburbs. What else would we do?

We wanted a project to work on. So I decided that we were finally going to bite the bullet and hang the lanterns I've been wanting on the back patio (Jeremy was a little panicked about drilling into the brick). They turned out great and they make the back patio look more complete.

Overall it was a pretty inexpensive project considering we went the non-electric route. We already have an overhead light and fan so lighting up the patio wasn't an issue. We used battery powered candles instead and I love the way they flicker!

I love the way flickering lights look. We have some lanterns in the front which are flickering light bulbs. It doesn't look as cool as our neighbors' ones that have actual flame, but we didn't want to run a gas line just for that.
