Barn Stars out of Oven Roaster pans! El-cheapo!!

So I stumbled upon this blog idea by a very smart lady at Choose to Thrive.

She's genius.

I, along with everyone else it seems, love those barn stars. They give me a warm, country feel. But when I'd walk up to them and glance at those price tags - I'd shudder. I'm too cheap to spend that kind of money! So I went to my local overstock warehouse type store and bought some oven roasters for 69 cents each. (Did I mention this was el-cheapo??)

Her tutorial is great!

And here are my results...

I had a very boring space above this railing in our house. I had no idea what to do up there and didn't really want to fill it up with dust collectors. I like them - for now!

I actually painted them the with the wall color paint I used for the wall below. I think it matched pretty well!

This red paint liked to kind of fleck off a little easier.

But that was okay with me, because it gave it a more vintage feel.

Thanks for reading! Head over to her blog!
