Who says metals are cold? And, for that matter, who says they don't bend? You sure didn't here those crazy theories from us. J'Ollie Primitives' metal stars come in more cozy, warm colors than you can shake a pitchfork at, and they shrink and stretch to any size you need. Well, that's an artful way of saying they're made to suit your decorating needs. In a way, these early American emblems could be considered the first "mood rings." They have traditionally been made in a variety of shades in addition to the black barn star, each of which represented various ideas that were important to early American settlers:
- Good luck charm (used instead of or in tandem with a horseshoe over the door)
- A barn-builders unique trademark
- Aesthetic piece
- Display of patriotism or other ideals
Of course, the motivations behind the starred wall have changed frequently over the years and are constantly morphing to reflect the values of the day. It's people like you who continue to shape the rich story of the star, so feel free to attach your own meaning to this unique piece of Americana.
Even with so many hues to choose, sometimes nothing quite does the trick like basic blacks. The black barn star adds an element of sophistication to the warm tones, color washes and pretty pastels of a typical country home. An ebony accent is perfectly at home in any room of the house, and in pretty much any house as well. And because this item, like all our metal stars, doesn't rust, it'll retain that sleek coal color for years to come.
