Isn't it just fun when something is a whole lot more difficult than it should be!?!
That seemed to be the story of my frame.
I got this frame from my grandmother a little while ago and knew exactly what I was going to do with it.
I took off the back board and started cleaning the frame so I could paint. Turns out the brass around the edge was a sticker! I had to peel it all off and then scrub off the residue... um - just a little time consuming. A five minute project quickly turned into a 90 minute project.
I spray painted the frame with black in a matte finish - it looked lovely.
The backboard was the next project. The dead plant pieces had to go!
This frame has had several lives apparently. I was surprised to find a painting under the black felt fabric.
Cute? Maybe a little. Just not on my wall :)
I covered it up with textured wallpaper from Lowes. Really pretty stuff that could be painted but I wanted it left white (for now).
Now came the hard part. I envisioned a layered look on my wall. Frame, silver platter & something pretty on the platter. The silver platter is special to me and my husband. It held our wedding cake and everytime I look at it I remember that wonderful day. Hence, wanting it on my wall.
Unfortunately, the platter didn't really want to be on the wall. Lets just say I won after a few extra holes in the wall.
YAY!
