Little Red Candle Lantern

This old junker has been outside for years. 
It was faded and rusty and ready for a new life.



I'm using my new favorite red called Smoldering Red 
by Benjamin Moore

I tried this gorgeous color on another project and I 
couldn't wait to use it again.

After a couple coats of the red, the hand painting itch got me.

I wanted to give the lantern a little pizazz and bright
colored pennants were just what it needed.

by DecoArt for the flags.




Cute little whimsical detail that is just fun!




I replaced the candle lantern on the outdoor fence hook,



added a battery operated candle.


And this little cutie has a whole new life!
