I have a collection of family photos on a table in my living room. They're framed in black and pewter, and recently I'd been thinking that corner looked dark. The answer? Spray paint the frames gold, of course! I've had some trouble with spray paint sticking to some frames (mainly plastic, I think) so I decided to use primer on these. Note - primer dries slower than spray paint (I got impatient and had to redo a couple : ( For some reason, I still had trouble with two of them. I thought it was because it was too cold one morning when I was working on them (spray paint does not work well in cold or hot temperatures). But it happened again on a warmer day. Boo! I couldn't get two to look smooth. So I gave up and tried something else. I gave them a coat of spray paint and dabbed the still-wet paint with a scrunched up piece of plastic wrap. It gave the frames an interesting texture and covered up the fact that the paint wasn't smooth. And I love the way they look!
And that corner is much brighter now
