As it says in my bio, I love both wrought iron and Capodimonte porcelain. Because one offers strength and stability, the other offers a softer, more delicate nature. I find that these are also my personal strengths. Although I have a very strong nature, there is also a much softer side to me.
Having both of these items in my home is simply an outward expression of who I am. It's a way to say to the world, "Don't mess with me!!", but it also says, "Be careful of my delicate nature".
Metal Wall Decor - Stars
Wall Decor
Just look at these stars and tell me that your imagine doesn't run wild with ideas. No ideas? Ok then, let's give you a couple of ideas.Wall decorations can be difficult to choose. Because they are at eye level, or close to it, they are one of the first things that people see when they enter your home.
When choosing wall decorations you should choose something that will stand the test of time. Metals are an excellent choice because they have been a part of home decor since, well... since forever almost. And metals are so versatile and easy to work with.
As you can see, these stars are silver, but because they are metal, if you decide you want them a different color, just get yourself a can of spray paint and paint them.
This is one reason thatmetal wall decor is popular. Because it so easy to work with. Try it for yourself.

An Easy Tip for Making it Last Longer
Wrought Iron
A simple tip for keeping your wrought iron looking great may sound a little strange, but it works.When you first receive your wall decor, or any wrought iron, or metal piece for that matter, give it a couple of light coats of clear spray paint. This will help protect metal or wrought iron from getting rusty or changing colors.
Now I know your first instinct will be to think about getting rustoleum paint. However, that is not necessary. Just go to any department store that carries paint products and get a cheap can of clear spray paint.
Thoroughly clean and wipe down your piece, then give it a light coat of paint. When that first coat dries, lightly paint it again.
You will end up with a piece of metal or wrought iron for the indoors, or outdoors, that will last longer.

Just get a can of spray paint in the color of your choice and give it the once over. When it is dry, add a second coat of spray paint. If you decide that you don't like the color you painted it, or if you change the basic colors in your home decor, then just paint it again.
Add a couple of candles, a small plant, or some books to this metal shelf and it will look like an interior designer came to your home.
