A few months ago I went to our local thrift store to look around. I always have to check out there frames when I go. Usually I can find such good frames for so cheap. My new thing has been to spray paint these frames to fix them up. This is what I did for todays project.
Here is the frame I bought at the thrift store:
Beauty isn't she?!?
I picked this up for a whole .75 cents!
I actually really love the style of this frame. It gives that old vintage feel.
I just wasn't feeling the gold paint on it.
I am still working on getting everything done for my gallery wall so
I decided to use the frame for it.
The colors in our room are black, cream, light blue and yellow.
I decided to spray paint the frame yellow.
This project was so simple to do.
What I did was take the back out of the frame and got to work with the spray paint.
I put about 5 coats on it to make sure no gold showed through.
I was going to go through and antique the little decals on the frame, but if you look closely the paint kind of did that itself so I chose to just leave it the way it was.
After it dried. I printed a picture of my two little monkeys and put in in the frame.
Here it is all put together:
I Love what the Pop of Yellow Color did for this frame!
It goes perfect with the picture and even more perfect with our room!
I can't wait to get this gallery wall done and up!
I will post pictures when I do!
