DIY Quickie: Easy Wall Sconces

Hey Everyone!

This isn't the project I wanted to do, but it's something. I did promise you a video before the end of the month and I have delivered!

I'm horrible at decorating my house and I had no clue what to do with the wall where we have a picture showing Charleston Harbor in 1872. I was browsing Pinterest for some ideas and came across Lantern Wall Sconces. Me being me, I didn't want to pay for something that looked easy to make.

I ran to Lowes a week ago to picked up a board and some hooks, so that I will be ready to build eventually. I also remembered that I packed 3 lanterns & flameless candles, that were leftover from my wedding and I was all set to go. I wasn't sure how it would turn out as my lanterns were way bigger than the ones I saw that Kirkland's was selling. So I did my measurements and cut all the wood and mounted the sconces to my wall and stepped back. My husband comes walking past me and said, "Have you changed your decor from Farmhouse to Pirate?" I was mortified LOL! The more I looked at it, he was right. I was not a fan of the big lanterns. So I'm going to change out the lanterns for some Adirondack hanging baskets with a farmhousey flower arrangement. Hopefully I can find the baskets soon because the sconces are hanging their bare at the moment. LOL!

So with that said, I hope you enjoyed this video. The next 2 weeks are going to be busy for me but I should have another video out mid May if all goes well. Thanks for sticking around and thanks for all of your support! Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe to my channel. Every little bit helps!
