I am requesting your help. The rendering of the house is below. The lantern will go on the outside of the front porch post closest to the front door. It will be very visible from the road.
Our intent is to create some Southern charm and a gas light is a great place to begin.
Option A: 18" French Quarter Gooseneck bracket
Option B: 18" French Quarter 1/2 Rodin

What are your honest opinions? Please share in the comment section.
Gas Lanterns, y'all!
I <3 B
ReplyDeleteB for beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHands down, B!!!! Traditional, and very Southern. I personally like when a lantern hangs from a hook/bracket.
ReplyDeleteB is my fav of the 2
ReplyDeleteB for sure
ReplyDeleteB - classic New Orleans!!
ReplyDeleteB is gorgeous and more dramatic!
ReplyDeleteThe 18" French Quarter 1/2 Rodin for The Acorn Cottage on Jean Street curb appeal win!
ReplyDeleteHi Ron! Looks like I'm in the minority, but I love the curvy lines of choice A. I think it compliments the curved metal roof on the window. Both are beautiful though! Looking forward to all the wonderful changes you are making. Jane
ReplyDeleteRon , option B for sure. Love the French look of it. It seems to flow beautifully with the look of New Orleans. We visited that very same shop in the French Quarter. Can’t wait to see your beautiful cottage. Xo
ReplyDeleteI like the second one.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Ron! I'm with the majority--B for sure! Have a great day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGotta be B....hugs the wall closer and this is a cottage!
ReplyDeleteThey both look good. As an engineer, I prefer the second because the lantern is supported more directly. I'd worry that the first one might start pulling away from the wall over time, especially if there is a lot of wind in your area.
ReplyDeletethey are both beautiful, but i like the first option best. it is "cleaner" and therefore a little more sophisticated. my main reason though has more to do with the height and profile of the house, which is low. something about the curved arm reaching "up" draws my eye up. gives the whole facade a "lift." the hanging one feels slightly "heavy" for the profile of the cottage.and points "down"which for me accents the low profile, rather than providing contrast. tough decision ! both are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love B. I think it would look wonderful on the front of your cottage. Can’t wait to see it when you put your design touch on everything.
ReplyDeleteI think B would be better. Your going to have a beautiful home for sure.
ReplyDeleteIf you were using multiple lights across the facade, I would say to use the more simple A (since the impact would be coming from the fixtures themselves), but since you are using a single lamp, I would definitely use the more elegant & singularly impactful option B. Just love it!
ReplyDeleteI like B.
ReplyDeleteI like them both but it seems like B will fit with the style of the home best.
ReplyDeleteGooseneck. The Rodin seems a touch too formal for your beautiful cottage.
ReplyDeleteFYI..... I ordered "B" yesterday! Thanks for your input.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but B is my fave. I see above you ordered those. Great choice you are going to smile when you see them on the cute cottage. This is so much fun Ron to see what you do with this beautiful cottage. It is going to be a stunner. The magazines will be hammering you to post on this beautiful cottage you create. Keep us posted on all you do. I am loving all your choices. So excited for you.

B Some drunk could walk up to your door and hang on the lower hook of A, so yah, B.
ReplyDeleteHa!!!!
