My husband is sick to death of hearing about outdoor wall lanterns at this point!  Outdoor lighting is something I never paid any attention to until we had a house and a little outdoor patio to decorate.  The lanterns currently in place are nice but not streamlined enough for our taste (they are scroll-y).  Found and loved these at Restoration Hardware….

Union Filament Clear Glass Narrow Sconce, on sale for $219 at Restoration Hardware

But after a little digging, I stumbled upon these box lanterns that (as far as I can tell) would do the trick as well!

Double Box Clear Bronze Outdoor Wall Light, $149.99 at Lamps Plus

So scrimp or splurge, guys?  Is the extra $69 per light worth it?  We’re doing 5 across the patio wall…so we’re looking at a potential savings of $345.  We’re going to check out the quality of the Lamps Plus find first– will let you know how it goes!
