Hi All. Can I just say that I am loving this forum? Everyone here is so talented and inspiring me to get my butt in gear this year.
I would love some feedback on my latest project. Should I leave the wood posts natural or give them a polished look by painting them?
The posts are tomato stakes that I used in our garden, so they have a nice weathered patina. But I was thinking maybe painting them orange/purple/green for a more festive look...? Each stake would be its own color, and alternate colors when I drive them into the ground. I also thought about painting them all black. I just can't decide!
I cut out the skull mouths and will put a tea light in each. I painted my battery window candles so those will light up too. All have magnets that hold them to the posts, so easy assembly and packing away (or if I want to use my stakes again in the garden). Also will be making more chain (from pipe insulation) that will hang from post to post, maybe about 3-4 feet between each stake.
Thanks in advance!
