Chinese Lanterns

I love both of these interiors. What I love most is that their owners used Chinese lanterns that were less than $10 each to create a look that was interesting and invididual to their own styles.

The designer of this little girl's bedroom, Amy Campbell, used tissue paper to make homemade "pom poms" and wired them together with different sized paper lanterns and homemade garland.

Roderick Shade's Harlem apartment is featured in the Feb 2010 Architectural Digest. He used six white Chinese lanterns to line his once-dark hallway. On a side note, I'm very impressed that Architectural Digest ran an article about renovating an apartment on such a small budget. That is not a topic that they tackle often. Good for them!
