The obsession continues.
I know how some of you feel about my metal barn stars. I understand some of you think they are over used, dated and boring. Well, I'm not planning on trying to change your mind but, I'd love to show you where my stars are now and if I win you over, you can enter to win a 24 inch metal barn star from J'Ollie Primitives.
Remember this project when we painted them with paper towels? I like to hang my stars all together for major impact. And a little patriotic undertone never hurt anyone.
Here's my big fat rusty metal star. He's hanging in the playroom today.
Here's Big Rusty at Christmas time in my old house. He's also spent some time outside on the back of my house. This star just gets better with age!
Now, I've gone and spray painted all these stars black. No worries, I can paint them again whenever I get tired of them. They give some much needed life and dimension to this tall, dull, narrow stairwell.
So, if you are a barn star enthusiast or, if somehow, I've managed to win you over to the dark side and now you see a great star shaped void in your life, you can win one!
J'Ollie Primitieves, owned by the Lewis family, is offering up a 24 inch metal barn star shipped to you strait from their home. They purchase these stars from a crafter in an Old Order Amish community and they'll even paint it for you. Check it out--they have 26 colors and I bet they look better than my paper towel painting. I just love businesses like this and if you never win anything, and need you a star real bad, head on over to their website and check out their wares!
Leave a comment and tell me how many stars you have to put your name in the hat!
Laura!

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 623 of 623I don't have any yet, but I would LOVE to!
I have 1 Star...and I love it. I have had it for year and picked it up an a roadside shop in Texas on my way home to visit family. Those are such a great idea for a big wall, that is now bare, in our play area!
Not a one! But I do have a big empty stair wall, and I LOVE the picture of the stars on yours!
I have 5 or 6 barn stars. I love them. I have a big red one on my chicken coop. I have a pattern to make little paper ones for a garland I'm making for Christmas. So sign me up cause you can never have too many. Mimi
I don't have any stars, and perhaps I don't need any stars, but I love how they look in your pictures. I would have to take notes on how to use the star, much as I appreciated the tassel tutorial you did.
I wanted to say that I love that photo of Big Rusty at Christmas! Awesome, just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I, well my husband, has been hanging Target curtains for me and they are looking pretty good. I plan to use some safety pins to hook multiple panels together.
And.... I am thinking of spray painting my dining room chandelier and two brass lamps black. Need to meditate on it but it might be a good thing. Thank you for all the inspiration!!!!
I don't have any stars, but oooooh I would love to have one! I could start a collection. I love yours hung together for impact!

I have always loved these stars. I just got married and I live in a tiny little apartment that's desperately needing some decoration for a homey feel. A star like one of these would definitely do the trick!
I have at least one star in every room of my house!! IT's kinda become my trademark too! I would ADORE another to hang here!!!
I only have one but I love it :)

Wow! There are 611 comments here! Well, I love love love barn stars! I only have one. But I'm a displaced Texan living in North Carolina and I sure would love to have some more!! Pick me!! :-)
I just got home from a new furniture store that just opened and I almost bought one! I came home and thought, that star would've gone great right there!!!! If I don't win, I'll have to go get one!!! :)
I had one star but after our move into a new place haven't found it yet. I love the look of stars.
Did I make it? In under the wire? I would LOVE to win one! I eye them and eye them, but I haven't broken down to get one yet. I love these stars. And I have a perfect spot to start my collection!
My dream is to have a star but ive never found one that speaks to me. I wish I had big Rusty hes awsome
I only have one, but I love them and would love to display more in my home:)
i dont have any :( Great giveaway! I hope I'm chosen as the lucky winner!
Is it too late to get in on the drawing for the giveaway star? I have one big star with beautiful scrolly cutouts in it, which I purchased a couple of months ago in Canton, TX & embarrassed to say I still haven't hung it up yet! (It's leaning up against the wall in our dining room!) Patti
I don't have a star, but love them and would like to start my collection. I love your stars in the stairwell. Great idea!!
Well I have one but it is special because I bought it on our one year here in the USA (Aussie Girl I am). I love them but have never been able to find out the history behind them. I would love another and your photos have inspired me to believe that more than one is ok!
I have one, on my back patio, and I'd love another one!
No stars in my house...but I sure would like to have one!
I need this star, I live in the Lone Star State!
