From a picket fence to a

 Coastal Inspired Flag

White picket fence sections have multiple personalities.

When I first meet these two they were leaning in the back room of a rummage sale.  After further inspection, I realized that someone had used them as headboards.

I snatched them up not really knowing what I would do with them.  But they’re wood, for $5 and I knew I could deconstruct/up-cycle them and create something else.  After looking at them for a year, it finally hit me, a wooden flag.

I created a beachy coastal inspired flag from sections of the  white picket fence.

Paint the section for the stars. I used a vibrate green for this area.

Remove the tape and sand lightly, if needed. I used a sanding block to distress the paint.

Use a hot glue gun to apply the starfish.

    2. Just love the flag. I love how you took a flag design (which most times you think red, white, and blue) and made it your own with great colors. I looks so great in your dock room. And what a great room that is. What great design. I am a new follower and just love your blog, design, and tips.

    3. Too, too cute – love the colors and it looks so perfect the way you used it. How nice to have a dock house and your décor is perfect. The flag is just the icing on the cake. The pillows match the flag perfectly – did you make those ?? If so, I would love to know the brand. The wood stumps look perfect – what a fantastic place to just read, meditate, perfect for a relaxing summer. I love your blog and wish I had 1/2 your talent and creativity. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas.
