Monday Musings: Lantern Love

My lovelies, how are thou? I have missed you so greatly. This is starting to resemble a Shakespeare novel. Did you all enjoy your weekend and shower your father with gifts and love? Mine consisted of trying to get my tan on and failing immediately upon its commencement. Freaking Mother Nature. She is a bitch. In other news, pretty sure my handyman is breaking up with me. Could there be anything worse? And the worst? It was by text. I mean, at least it wasn't a post it?  I have got to get my greedy hands on another one of those, stat. We have work to do here, bro. 

Today is something I have been coveting for some time now. Something so near and oh so dear to my hear. Let's talk about the world of lanterns. Lighting once thought to only apply in outdoor spaces has now been translated into the interior design world and in a big way. I am not talking about a pansy small lantern. I am talking about the enormous and oversized lanterns that at first glance you may be uncertain if it is over the top and obnoxiously large for the space but then quickly realize you are smoking crack. Bigger is better. Always. Always. Always. Let's gander at some ridiculous large lanterns on the interior, shall we?

Smitten? I knew we might agree on this.
