Diy Au Frames

I am non allowed to purchase whatever to a greater extent than frames.  It is a self-enacted rule.  I conduct maintain to a greater extent than frames than I'd always need.  They are diverse styles as well as finishes... virtually of which I've grown tired.  Of course.  When looking for inspiration for decorating our house, I started flipping dorsum through photos from our honeymoon inward Italy.

hotel inward Florence, Hotel Lungarno.  The decor was therefore lovely - comfortable, but elegant.  I love the white slipcovers on everything, the walnut antiques as well as the... atomic let on 79 golden framed art.

So, I decided to conduct maintain my collection as well as endeavor to transform them into aged, atomic let on 79 frames.

The alone room that has frames consummate amongst 'artwork' (aka photos...) is our bedroom.

I love identify unit of measurement photos inward the sleeping room - to a higher identify the chair I conduct maintain this photograph of Emma that I took inward the Boston Public Gardens.

Then past times our bed I conduct maintain ii photos that I telephone phone "Before & After." 

One at our wedding, our get-go married twosome portrait, as well as ane amongst Emma - our get-go identify unit of measurement portrait. 

Here is a unopen upwards of the handling of the frames.  I started past times spray epitome them gold, therefore brushed on woods stain tinted polyurethane.  After it dried, I rubbed it amongst steel wool to conduct maintain the polish off as well as weather condition it inward places.  I love the irregular as well as imperfect nature of this projection - every bit nosotros saw inward Italy, the to a greater extent than rustic as well as battered, the better.

These were the paints I started amongst - I ended upwards using the Heirloom White on the frames inward Emma's room as well as the Rust-Oleum Bright Reflective Finish Gold (the ane all the agency to the right) for the others.  The other paints had likewise much glitter as well as didn't await authentic.
