    Picture Perfect Frame Experiment

    I had some extra spray paint leftover from my chair project, so I decided to see if how well it would work for my goodwill picture frames.

    The two large darker frames were the only ones made of wood, and those were the two that I was most concerned about. The other ones were plastic. As it turned out though, the plastic spray paint worked fine on all of the frames.

    I have a little, empty hallway that I wanted to decorate with frames so I played with a few different configurations until I found one I liked.

    I thought about removing the backs and hanging the empty frames for a look like this one from décor pad, because it is pretty,

    but I don’t think it would be as impactful or personal as I would like. So, I dashed off to my computer (and yes, I dashed) to play with some fonts and fun sayings and chopped em’ up with my paper cutter.

    For now, these will just be placeholders until I carve out a bit of time to make something pretty, and cut a few mats.

    Maybe I’ll turn a few into mirrors…or chalkboards…or play with typography and have them properly printed…

    for now however, these take up the space, and I am content.

    And excuse the strangeness going on on the tiny window in the background…the windows are tiny, and I don’t know what to do with them at the moment.

    Goodbye until next time!
