It is exciting to share some fun things for my first October at The Sassy Starfish. As many know, my husband and I are big fans of Halloween, and have a yearly themed party at our home. This year's theme is Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves where we will build a gypsy camp in our backyard with a fortune teller on the front porch. Much of my inspiration came from the blog A Fanciful Twist, and I was able to find a fantastic wood burning stove in my parent's barn.
In order to get the stove back into shape, we spent a lot of time sanding. We then spray painted the stove with black heat proof paint, and sanded it down a bit again in order to create a more rustic look.
Here is the journey from barn storage to a functional piece...
