Barn Star Makeover

Lately I haven't really had time for crafting, DIY'ing, or upcycling. I've been so busy with end of year activities, new design clients, and family "stuff", that all of my super duper fun ideas have had to be placed on the back burner.

I did get a chance to spray paint something yesterday! 

Never mind I was supposed to be spray painting derby cars...

I have had this barn star for a few years now, and while I love the red and the rust, I was ready for it to be new again.

Not a huge deal, but I do love the outcome! It makes me smile to see more color.

I'm seeing stars!

This Beautiful barn star I found at a yard sale for $2! That's right, $2! I was excited! But not as excited about this fabulous giveaway.

Nesting Place is hosting the best giveaway and I really hope I win!

This current barn star hangs from the post on my mailbox. It gives the mailman something nice to look at everyday-don't you think? 

And this beauty I found at my local thrift store for $2! That is just a magic number for me, I tell you. (The barn star is currently hanging there b/c there are tornadois winds outside and I don't want it to get ruined-and yes that is a word) :-)

I was going to paint this black but when hubs put it on the wall to see how we liked it...I really liked it. It matched our door and (ahem... carpet) really well. So it will stay blue for now, until I decide it needs to be moved to a different area in the house, then who knows what color it could be.

I also found a perfect little black table for... you guessed it! $2!! I will show you that tomorrow. I have it on my porch with a cute little urn and some very appropriate pumpkins.
