Fancy White Frame Meets Rough Old Burlap

The heck with daylight. This darkness at 5pm is killing me. I decided to just try some pictures without a lamp and some photoshop.


This is what I found at GW the other day for $5. It was a good size frame. About 33x24. Though the lovely painting did not go with anything around here. The frame I thought was worth the five dollars.



 Look what was behind it when I started to take it apart. The corn ad was the paper that topped the cardboard dream whip. I sort of like the corn ad and thought it might be some fun pop art framed for the kitchen. It's a bit torn though. I'm not sure why dream whip wants to pay me .25.


I started off spray painting the frame but all I had was glossy and it was too shiny. So I brought it inside and used a brush and some creamy white paint. Then I tried some glaze but I wasn't thrilled with it so I just went back over most of it with the white. I may give it another go later but for now I like the white. I had this coffee sack with a pretty cool graphic on it. I wrapped it around the old cardboard print and duct taped it on the back. Then popped it back in. The sack is still in one piece if I want to use it later for something else.



I may hang it at the top of the staircase since it's a good size and I need something large there. Well not I, he. Hubby will be thrilled to get back on the ladder and do another balancing act for me I'm sure.


So what do you think about mixing the rough burlap with the more ornate white frame? Too weird? Come on be honest, I can take it.

  1. Anita~ I love the mix!! The beautiful ornate white frame with the rustic burlap- love it. It works beautifully and is the unexpected. Anyone might have either of those things in a room... but together, beautiful! You raised the burlap up a few notches in that frame!! Thanks for sharing! :)

  12. Love it! Perfect balance. If you decide the frame is too pristine, you can always distress it a little with sandpaper, etc.
