Before and After Yellow Frame

               BEFORE....

         AFTER.....

I love how this frame turned out.
I bought it at a thrift store for $6. It's very heavy and came with the glass in it.



I brought it home and got busy.
I bought yellow spray paint!
I had not painted anything in yellow (I've mostly painted with turquoise because I LOVE turquoise.)
So, I thought yellow would be a pretty summer color.

A work in process.....

I had two chevron pattern wrapping papers that I bought at HomeGoods (LOVE that store!)
Which one to choose?
I went with the gray.

hello.
It's now a cute dry erase frame.

I bought ZEBRA duck tape.... f u N!!

Sorry for the blurry picture. I forgot to take a before pic of the frame, but this shows it. Just a dull, brown frame.  I cut pieces of zebra duck tape and taped them around the frame. Easy... and so cute!

Looks good with blue!

Looks good with tan!

Looks good in a grouping!

My latest Thrifty Finds!

Lotsa good thrifty stuff!

Some of it is already painted. If I have time I'll try to post some before and after pics this week. I'm having so much fun painting this stuff. Vintage... old and worn out... sometimes ugly stuff... all prettied up with a little paint :)

More Goodwill Goodies...

Here are my most recent thrifty finds from Gwill....

cute stuff, huh?

He is now turquoise.

My daughter said I shouldn't paint this one... don't know if I can resist though. I'm thinking maybe white and then distressing for a shabby chic look.

Maybe Pink?

Maybe red or orange?

I love, love, love this frame! The marbleized {or whatever it's called} mirror has to go though.

Goodwill is making me very happy these days. I usually go on Thursday when I go to town to deposit my check. I try to spend at least $10 so I can get my card stamped. I've almost spent $100 and when I do I get $10 worth of free stuff. Woo-Hoo!!

TOTAL COST $11.31

My new earring holder

I made this earring holder to possibly use in a store that sells my jewelry.

It didn't work for the store so I decided to use it, for now, in my room.

I have several old frames in my craft room.

Spray painted it white and glued it. (It was a little wobbly and still is, but not as bad.)

I strung some twine across the frame and hot glued it with a vintage button on top to help hold it.

Here's where it ended up. In my bedroom.

Also, now it is filled up with my earrings.

I want to fix up some frames with screen in them for holding earrings...

one of my many projects. I really need to get busy on some of my projects!

I finally hung the pretty hook that Julie bought me at Antique Alley. I thought it looked really good beside my peacock feathers on the dresser. My room is tan with burgundy curtains and pillows. I've been wanting to change it, so now I'm thinking tan and teal.

What do ya think?
