this fall we thought would be an appropriate time to give our house a tiny little makeover. we want to update the pair of hanging lanterns at our front door and add some new house numbers. in case you’re new around here, this is what our house looked like back in november when we bought it. since then we’ve removed the wood plaque (we’ll get different one eventually) and added some new shrubs. some day maybe a wood door.

here are some lanterns i found that i like. we are trying to stick with english cottage/tudor style, but not spend a fortune. the house was built in 1916. i searched for tudor and this is what came up…

ideally, we’d like to hang only one in the center over the door, but tall people might bump their heads. or mount a pair on the sides of the door? black or brown? i can’t figure out what will look best. any designers out there or anyone please feel free to unleash your thoughts!
