I adore decorating with lanterns, they should be a home décor staple piece. Another thing is they can be easily changed to fit your room’s décor. For an example, I am sharing the lantern I changed below.
Hey there! If you are coming over from Rebecca at Zucchini Sisters, welcome to Decorate and More with Tip! Didn’t her wreath looks amazing?

For a couple years now, I have placed two copper lanterns on our back porch. I love sitting in the evening on the porch with them on. Sadly, they are beginning to rust and need to be replace.
I found outdoor plastic lanterns to replace the copper lanterns, since they are plastic, they can sustain the moisture and won’t rust.
Check out how I changed the white lanterns to fit my porch décor.
The first thing was to remove the glass panels from the lantern. I removed the 4 small screws that holds the bottom part of the lantern.
Remove the glass panels out of the lantern.
Paint the grids in the color of your choice. I am using Apple Barrel paint in the color of pavement.
To remove the unwanted paint use a damp cloth and wipe carefully.
To protect my painted grids, I used Minwax Polycrylic protective finish.
After the poly dries, place the glass panels back into the lantern and add the bottom back on.
Very easy to do and look how different it looks! It gives the lantern a classy look.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
