More Painting - Frames

Why didn't I take more pictures BEFORE I start painting?

Over the weekend I dug out found three vintage wooden layered frames that had been hiding (beside the freezer and behind the dresser in the shed ...) 


I love old gold coloured ornate frames and have stored these for years.
Taped the fabric inner borders (and you can see other projects in progress in this collage)
Spray painting outside (made a mess of the deck this time, had to repaint part of the flooring)
Green tape over cream linen inner border.
Rust-oleum Primer, Rust-oleum Heritage Blossom
Ornate. Substantial.
From painting to hanging in my booth.
Green tape over black velvet inner frame. Same paint as first frame.
This is the oldest of the three frames. For some reason I didn't take a
before picture, just a whoops 2 layers of primer picture.
Dark frame, multi-layered, very ornate, heavy
An under the rim detail
Primer
Shabby chic
Lovely

    Awesome. Nate Burkus had them on his show last week and I caught the bug. You sure did a great job with these.

    Oh, I LOVE those! I'm crazy about frames like that and I am always keeping my eyes open for them. I think they look wonderful in the white.

    (And I frequently forget the "before" shot too. UGH. )

    Those really are pretty! I've done this a couple of times - don't know why I haven't done it more, other than it's a big mess! But the results are worth it.
