Garden landscaping ideas include this garden lantern i found at a reclamation yard. Am happy with the result.
[Music] hi guys welcome back to my channel thanks for joining me right so I bought this uh Japanese outdoor Lantern I got it from a scrapyard I love to go to like a scrapyard or some people call them Reclamation yards just to have a look and see what deals are out there because I always find quite special pieces there so as I was just walking around in the Reclamation yard my eye just caught this Lantern and initially it just didn’t look like anything and then as I was walking around I thought you know what that actually is quite a special Lantern so I just thought I would buy it and just try and like repaint it and I thought it would sit well somewhere in the garden but I didn’t know exactly where but I just thought I needed to have it so as you can see terms of the detail it is quite detailed it’s got like three love hearts as you can see at the top there it’s almost like it’s got all the air rating things at the top with three love hearts um and I think it’s called a Japanese pagod I’ve just been looking at it I Googled it and it says it’s a Japanese bagoda so yeah I thought maybe let me just give it a try buy it um I bought it for £10 initially the woman won it £25 for it because she said it’s worth £25 it’s cast iron um it’s quite heavy so when you look at it it it’s it doesn’t look obviously heavy but it’s actually quite a really heavy piece so she wanted uh £25 for it and I’ve haggled it down to 10 which is great so it’s got a little door on the side as you can see and you can put like a a little candle in there um and it would look quite nice so yeah this is what I got for it and um I just thought to myself let me see what I can do to restore it somehow restore it so I’ve just given it a bit of a brush and I still need to just brush out a bit more dust across there and then start the the paint job basically that’s the final result guys I have a look at what it looks like now I really really like it this post office red color definitely is the color I should have gone for because I was initially thinking whether or not I should put it in a like a black color but I absolutely love this color stunning stunning piece as you can see it the detail on there has come out so much more to when it was just sort of Rusty and all those love hearts at the top have really come out really well so I’ll definitely use it in the garden um and I just need to figure out where exactly to put it in the garden but yeah really really like it um like comment subscribe to my channel guys thank you so much for watching I’ll see you in the next one
