Oh my Stars!

Just a quick little update about a project I did this weekend. My next big room to tackle is our guest bedroom. The walls are painted a bright blue color ( but when the lights are dim it almost looks navy.) that M picked out when we first moved in. It originally started out as his office, but over the last 3 years it has slowly turned into a guest room. It also has been a storage room. My mom has given us some furniture to make room for my grandfather moving into their house, so I'm using this as my excuse to finally clean up the room and style it. Because the walls are so bright, I'm planning on painting the furniture white and using different shades of blue with a hint of yellow as the accent colors. I'm hoping the white furniture will tone down the blue a little bit.

In the midst of painting a bookcase, I remember that we had this large metal star in the closet that I had no where to put. We have a total of 4. Two large and two small. 3 of them are hanging in our living room, but after doing this one, I want to paint all the rest!

 

This is the before picture. I spray painted it white thinking that it would look pretty cool hanging over the bed. Then I remember that I had a tube of rub n buff that I've never opened. So last night I tested out one corner of the star. I hated it. Then this morning I figured why not just do the whole thing and then decide. Now I LOVE IT! I'm even thinking I might use the silver on some of the white furniture to tie it all together.

HAPPY MONDAY!!
