How to build a wooden lantern

It’s always nice to have different lamps in a room, it allow you to change the atmosphere of the space. I’m pretty happy with the wooden lantern I created for Bob Vila. I put it on the drawer in our bedroom, the carbon filament light bulb gives a soft and warm lighting. It’s practice when we are still awake but don’t want to wake up our baby girl by using the ceiling lighting. For now I like it in the natural wooden shade, but I may want to paint it in the future. I have a mat black color in mind, what do you think?  Any other color suggestion?

This wood lantern was quite simple to make and didn’t require any specific tool. It’s a nice project to make for a beginner. Head over to Bob Vila to see the complete tutorial, CLICK HERE
