It's that time of year where there's more darkness and less sunlight each day. And while no one enjoys seeing it grow dark at 4:30 p.m., it's fun to look up in the sky on a winter's evening and see a landscape of stars in the night sky. Stars have a special magical effect wherever they are. Here are some ways to bring stars inside to light up your home.
I have a big crush on star-shaped lanterns, which are called Moravian Stars. These star pendants make this hallway glow.

I have this curtain in my baby girl's nursery. I love seeing the light shine through the die-cut stars, just like the twinkle-twinkle of the night sky. The curtain also casts the coolest shadows on the wall in the morning light.
