I love this picture frame - and the pix of my cute lil' munchkins in it - but after I redecorated the room it was in I didn't really have a place for it. So it's been in storage : ( Now that Daughter #1 is in her second year of college and has her own apartment, I've slowly been converting her room into a guest room. Since I don't want to do a total overhaul and leave her feeling like she's been kicked out, I've been working with the color scheme already in place. Which is purple! (I'm sure you can guess that is her favorite color.) I like green with purple, though - anybody with me? So I've been working on adding a few green touches. When I "shopped" my storage area for inspiration, I found this not-quite-forgotten frame. I knew with a little spray paint it'd be perfect in that room! And to make it even more perfect, I already had the spray paint on hand. I'd like to say I gave it a quick coat of spray paint and immediately added it to the room, but that would be a lie. The key to spray painting is thin coats. That's fine - most projects are still relatively quick. But this frame had so many nooks and crannies to get into that it took some time - I didn't want blobs and streaks of paint ruining it. One of the great features of spray paint is the smooth, factory-like finish you can achieve. So I worked on it off and on all day, actually. But I love the finished look! And it IS perfect in the room (watch for a room reveal in the future).
