Decorating with Barn Stars has become very popular since the Civil War. They can be seen in homes all over the country and can actually be traced to early America when they were used to help stabilize the house. These were the end pieces or "star washers" to a rod that ran through the house keeping it together. Now they are a decorative mainstay.

The color of your Barn Star has meaning too:

     

    Black for protection and what is hidden
    Red for emotional well being, hardiness and valour
    White for purity and innocence
    Blue for peace, signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice
    Green for growth and fertility
    Violet for anything sacred
    Yellow for mind and body heath 
    Orange for abundance and adventure
    Brown for friendship and strength
