[before and after] painting the frames

here's my mix of a how-to/tutorial/before-and-after.

i've been stocking up on frames for some time now. they cost no more than $3, and i find them either on clearance brand new at stores like target, or i get them at the thrift stores.some have mirrors in them, some have photographs in them. i just want the frames. different sizes, different textures. so i can have some fun with one wall in our apartment.

well, last night i finally started to paint them. because i have this vision. you'll see it as it comes to completion. for today? painting them all black. well, not all of them. as many as would fit on the table.

it wasn't bad. i would have much rather used spray paint, especially on these textured frames, but it worked fine by using a beat up small paint brush on them. on the flatter frames, i used a foam brush.

it took a few coats, especially on this gold one.

but it was worth it.

stay tuned to see how this project finishes up.
