I did this a few years back. I bought the lantern at a garage sale brand new in the box at a yard sale for $10. It's solid cast iron and extremely heavy. It was gray, so I painted it with a rust faux finish. Then I found the stand up the street in my neighbor's trash. I have no idea what it was originally for, but it was white and rusty. So I sanded it down and did the same faux finish on it and the lantern fit perfectly on it. I put it on my patio amongst my plants in the summer with a candle in it and then bring it indoors for those plants and use it inside. Unfortunately, the pic doesn't do it justice, plus I had to move the plants to take the picture. Normally the plants are in front of it and it looks so nice in the evenings lit.

I'm posting a lot lately and it's because I know how to put in the pictures. So my many projects that I've done over the years and talked about on here, I can now finally post them finished!
