Share your thoughts!I

I would leave it the color it is and add the fake bird nest material & bird from the dollar store or craft store. OR, I would paint it white and add flowers around the larger outer center circle.

I would paint the rays pewter or gunmetal grey, then Regoldify the circlular stuff with a thin foil and modpodge, and then attach small gold beads to select ray ends... I've attached pictures depicting the shades I envision. Thanks for audience. Cheers.

Thanks so much for your vision. I particularly like the touch of gold beads to some of the rays for an updated modern look!

You can have such fun with this! I would go for either bronze or silver metallic spray paint for the outer section, and then 'tweek' the centre to suit the outer part. Another possibility would be pale blue or turquoise if you like a coastal feel, or a combination of yellow and orange for a sun-burst theme. I do like the idea of adding small beads, and would use that suggestion no matter what option I decided to take. A lot depends on what else is in its immediate vicinity. I do hope you will post some 'after' photographs.

Thanks so much for your great suggestions Valerie! Leaning towards the metallic paints as it will go better with my decor.

if it were me i would take three to four colors from my home decor and paint the spikes those colors yes time consumming but thats the fun the center bright yellowish gold and beads on the rays tips not all but a random pattern

Use metallic paints from Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!

Great idea!!! Thanks

I think metallic would look great, or if you're going for a shabby chic look u can chalk paint it and then distress it a bit.

Thanks for your suggestion. Metallic would look great.

Rustoleum makes metallic paint in different metal colors! Check out their website, or visit your local hardware store. I think for this piece, something bright and shiny would give it the best splash!!

I think you are right!!! Thanks for your input.

Thanks, Kathy. I also think metallic is the way to go!. Appreciate your input
