One area that needed some art was above the rocking chair. I inherited the black frames (which work PERFECTLY in this space). The size of the frames are perfect and so is the color!
The only real problem I ran into was that these frames didn't have mats, just brown cardboard. And mats (especially custom made just isn't in the budget).
I thought and contemplated all kinds of ideas-
1. getting rid of the cardboard all together and substituting with something else (white foam board maybe?)
2. covering the cardboard with fabric
3. painting the cardboard
Number 3 won. I didn't want to use the curtain fabric again (I have another idea for the leftovers) and I already had spray paint from the ruffle lamp- so that's what I used.
I used 3 thin coats to totally cover the brown and give it that pop of pink that I was wanting on the gray wall. Because the paint was leftover from another project I consider this part free!
This has been such a fun week coming up with projects that I can pull off for nothing! Maybe I'll do this again sometime... I'll be back to my regular schedule of 3 posts a week next week. 5 days of blogging sure was fun though!
