I recently bought these timber stars from a table of Christmas Decorations at adorne, West end. They were reduced to $5.00 each, originally $29.95!!! (seriously who would pay that?)
I thought I could paint one to match the front door, add the house number to it and hang it over the pickets on the gate. (I bought two in case someone decided to pinch the first one), I picked up some cheap plastic numbers from Bunnings and slapped on some pink paint.
But… Mr F (my husband) said that I was lucky that he was willing to have a pink front door, but the pink star hanging over the gate was ‘taking it too far!!!!’ He doesn’t want ‘to live in a gingerbread house!!!’ fair enough.
so we compromised, it now hangs over the outdoor light on the front porch.
I might paint the other star in a different colour, so I can swap them over occasionally. I’ve got some left over paint from the boys t.v cabinet, the desk and the door on the garden shed .
I just love your pink front door 🙂
Thank you Tamara Kate! I like the cute little cat in your profile picture🐱
Just love both your door colors. The stars is a nice addition, and looks great with the numbers. I had to chuckle at your husband’s reaction–a guy can only endure so much pink, I guess! I have to give him credit, though; my husband is pretty interested in design, but I’m not sure I could talk him into a pink anything.
Oops–forgive the typos!
Totally forgiven
He’s a pretty easy going chap.
Ive got to have my femine touches, living in a house full of Boys can be overwhelming at times.
Love it…the compromise and the location.
Thankyou❤️
I think it’s pretty nice by the door but EVEN BETTER on the gate. And to Mr. F…who doesn’t want to live in a gingerbread house?!
Ha ha
I agree.🍭🍬🍪
Nicely done!
Thanks Janet!!!!
Love the vibrant pink door! It’s gorgeous!
Thanks Stacey!!!
This is the sweetest idea! I love stars and the pink looks great. Plus, who doesn’t love a bargain?
Thank you!
Im still plotting to hang the spare one over the front gate.
Hey, clever you! I’m going to steal your style. How wonderful. The stars look great! Well done. x
Thank you Deborah. I’m happy with the result and it can be changed very easily when we are over the colours.
