Picture Frame - Upcycle....



Here's the 11x14 frame that held my wedding photo. I bought it on sale at Michael's Crafts right before we were married in May 2005.



 
A few weeks ago, I found this gold frame at Goodwill for $1.00. It was missing the glass but for just a dollar, I couldn't pass it up. The gold isn't my favorite but I know that its nothing that I can't fix with a few sprays of Heriloom White by Rustoleum.
 

So I lightly sanded and primed it gray. I wasn't really concerned about full coverage of the primer because I planned to distress it.



Here it is... I sanned it a little to distress somewhat.




Up close...



Here it is hanging on my wall. I think it looks better - an improvement anyway...
