I decided to tackle the easiest project on my list first. Not Jane Eyre, but the seriously dated $1 yard sale frame. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Here she is in all her 1970's glory before:
I loved the detailing, even though it looked like someone tried to fix her with caulk at one point.
After a quick trip to Lowes for spray paint, I got cracking.
At first I thought the color was too blue, but it dried perfectly.
Note the toes of Bryan's new Vibram shoes... they are a pretty color but he looks like Aquaman when he has them on.
I was going to buy some antiquing glaze but since the frame was already white underneath, I just took some sand paper to the edges.
Did I mention I have never done this before?
Finally, I went with this:
I tested it out on the mantle first, but liked it much more on the wall. I still don't know if I'm going to add anything inside it; I like to test things out for a little while.
Not too bad for $1 frame and $3 spray paint.
Love,
The Johnsons
