I've Been Framed!

Haha...don't you love my corny title! You have to excuse me. Mr. Sash to Treasure's birthday was today so I am a little jacked up on sugar. Ok, a LOT jacked up on sugar...cake was my supper! I love being a grown up!

ANYWAYS... I have been collecting frames, mostly because I have a slight obsession with them, and also because they are so wonderful and versatile. You can do a ton of things with a frame. Lately, my focus has been jewelry organizers and Memo boards. Hopefully I can get the hubby to cut me some wood soon and I can do a few more chalk and bulletin boards.

So here are my frames before spray paint, chicken wire, and fabric...

And here are some afters...

And another...

And another...

And another...

I have a huge apprection for these frames. They have made my life a little easier! Now I don't have to dig in a basket to find the other match to my earring, I no longer have to untangle my necklaces, and when cooking, I can pin the recipe card right in front of me. They are great~

A Project Reveal from Junking Parte Uno

Hopefully this picture looks familiar! I know I've already shown you several jewelry holders that I've made, but I wanted to make sure I stay true to my word when I say that I will show you completed projects from previous blogs. The project I'm revealing today originated back in September when I brought home this darling black frame. I found this at a basement flea market for $2.50.

It was really pretty black, but I thought it would look even better with a little more color. Mix things up a bit, ya know?! I found a real neat green color of spray paint at Wal-Mart...I thought it would be perfect for this frame so I bought it! Speaking of spray paint, I was reading a blog the other day and it mentioned that there are two types of people in the world, the kind that use spray paint and the kind that use a paint brush or roller. Well, when it comes to pieces of furniture or frames, I am a spray paint kinda girl! Sorry, I get off topic pretty easily when talking about things that make me happy... and in case you didn't know, spray paint makes me happy! Even ecstatic sometimes!



So, I coated the frame in green, let it dry, then stapled some chicken wire to the back of it, with a pretty brown zebra print behind the chicken wire and, voila, instant jewelry holder!





I think the colors on this thing rock! They just pop! And it is so convenient for earrings, sunglasses, pins, hair clips... all of those great accessories!

I linked this project to Domestically Speaking 96th Power of Paint Party...check out the linky party!
