Last year we went to www.ikea.com/ in Long Island to get a kitchen table set which we can eat in the kitchen instead of the dining room.Ikea's send me a catalog which I subscripts every season.There is few more items I want to get as well.Usually I will shop there for few hours by myself.But with Elliot tagging along I better hurry up.I was walking brisking while pushing my shopping cart with Mishu toward lightning department, I saw a simple design hanging lamp .This hanging lamp with a reasonable price tag only $19.95 caught my eyes.I quickly grab it and put it into my cart.I show it to Elliot.He like the simplicity of the design and price as well.So we bought this hanging lamp and hang it at our front door entrance for months.So far so good..It's easy to clean too..Made from glasses.
I love this 99 cents store in Chinatown , Manhattan.2 months ago,I shopped there again.Usually they not only sell 99 cents stuffs but other stuff/junk as well, which is about $2-5.I saw this Oriental design lantern made from paper .It's not bad looking with 12x10 diameter rounded shape.The price is only $2.00.So,I bought 2 pcs with different calligraphy's design. I'm thinking ,buy it and sell in my EBay's site which I just started not long ago.Well,since the diameter is too big for packaging even though the paper lantern is very light, I just let it sit on the shelf to gather dust.Sometimes,I will take effort to do things if I wish ASAP,while some other days,I will just be lazy and doing nothing.While I'm cleaning my guest room downstairs,I saw my junks still sitting on top of the shelf with G.I.Joe's.Suddenly,I'm thinking,why don't I hang it up in my front entrance door since the whole part of my entrance have Oriental and Chinese design ornaments?..So here it's goes.....easy ,elegant and inexpensive lantern.After,Elliot hanging the lantern up,he suggest to me,why don't you sell this in eBay??.I guess he been sleeping all the while..
Here it's goes...not too bad,right??..Which one is better looking?.Glass lamp from Ikea or Oriental paper lantern?..both of them doesn't come with bulb but no problem ...just get a CFL bulb for it..

I prefer the Oriental Paper Lantern Lamp... Very nice. When I was living in my apartment in KL, I had two big paper lantern lamps just like yours hanging at one corner in my living room. Nice and cozy.
Yes,I thinking the same.The Oriental Lantern look much more better because it's bigger compare with Ikea's one and have charater.Unique style.
