Cozy Lodge and Cabin Lighting with Candles, Candle-Holders and Lanterns

Nothing makes your log cabin, lodge or other retreat feel more like home than a candle or lantern shining out in the darkness. Doesn't it make you feel cozy just thinking about it? A rustic candle, candle-holder or vintage-style lantern brings instant country charm, bringing back memories of simpler times. If you worry about the fire risk, these days you don't even have to use real candles.

Rustic lighting calls for a natural look, with woodland materials such as twigs, pinecones and berries, carved wood, and animal forms. The goal is to have a lighting scheme that blends perfectly with your cabin decor while creating just the right mood for relaxed evenings far from demands of the urban life.

    Oh, I can only imagine the thrill of owning a cabin in the woods. Such beautiful candle lighting is enough to make me want to build a cabin just so I have a place to show off all those romantic candle holders. As Sylvestermouse touched on, we're never too old for romance.

    Yoosers! As I was looking back over the article and making plans, I realized you gave me a few new craft ideas too. I would love to make a wicker basket and I am crazy about that candle in a log. When I was a little girl, my mother and I used to make pine cone crafts. Great memories there!
