Re-Purposed ViNtaGe LANTERN Centerpiece...

~* ViNtaGe Lanterns *~

Not as commonly found as you would think...

I'm ALWAYS am On-The-Hunt

 for ViNtaGe Lanterns

And Rarely come across them...  This was actually the upper housing of a "one-time" electrified piece... I removed 2 of the glass panels to allow better viewing and air circulation for a votive candle...

 I used an Old SaLvaGed Architectural

 Column Base as a Prop for the Lantern...

  Being F*A*L*L* ~ a hint of  "Bittersweet Berries"

 added just the right amount of color to "Make-It-PoP"!*!*!

This **Keeper~FiNd** is soon to be our 

Kitchen Table CenterPiece...
