I don’t have a great before picture but you can see a bit of the room over Meredith’s shoulder (right side) in this picture
First, I tackled the wall color – using Valspar Sheer Light (a blue) same as family room)
On the wall are many cross-stitch samplers, most made by my mom, some by me and one by Paige when she was 12. These are very special to me, representing many hours of hard work, a labor of love.
Problem, the frames are dated, mismatched and some scraped up. Take a look
I decided a bit of spray paint would do the trick
I think the wall looks great, what do you think?
One is suppose to be orange but it looks a bit too red, so I am going to look for another can of orange and redo those few frames. I am so pleased with the update.
I love this! What a great collection of samplers you have. You reminded me that I have one that I finished many years ago, that I have never framed. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great change! Am I right that you kept the samplers in the frames when you sprayed?
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of color. It really brightens the room. And the fact that the pictures are near and dear to you makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteI love your newly painted frames, but it was those samplers that brought me over!! *swoon*!!
