So, I collected the stars at the early "end of summer" clearance sales at Joann's fabrics, and a few at Michael's. They were $4 and under, each, and around 70% off when I picked them up. The three little ones were under a $1 each.
Because they were dark colors (mostly for fourth of July/Americana decor) we needed to spray primer them, before I used acrylic paints to paint them up in coordinating colors. I love the large star. It has some really great detail on it.
I got the quilt out, and my paint bucket and picked the colors that best coordinated... not matched exactly. After all, I was adding them to the lime green walls (which I've been told in person is much more the color of a granny smith apple, instead of a lime)
Here they are painted with the first coat...
And, here's the corner of the nursery I added them to! (Doesn't the glider look great in there too! Here's how I slipcovered the cushions...) I love the pop they provide, and they're the first thing you see entering the room.
Isn't paint great?!
Now, if I could just finish the other corner of the room before baby arrives... Since it's 95% done though, we're in good shape, and I hope to share a post or two with you each day for the next few days as we count down to his arrival!
