Picture Frame Makeovers using Rub & Buff, An Old Calendar, Walmart and HomeGoods

My office makeover that I blogged about last summer is complete. It took a while not because I didn't have the time, but because I like to sit in a space and imagine lots of things before I go about buying and creating.

There will be more blog posts in the future about this makeover, which I love. But I thought I would start with a few projects for the gallery wall.

I stared at the wall, configured the various frames and gathered the images I wanted to include. It is not complete (is anything ever complete?) but here are some projects I worked on to begin.

I found a $3.00 frame at HomeGoods. When I opened the frame to clean it, a whole bunch of ants popped out but they were quickly snuffed out.I had read on various blogs about Rub n' Buff so I purchased Gold Leaf and went at it.

This product is so easy to use. Here is the finished product with a lighthouse watercolor I created a few years ago.I found a frame at Walmart for $1.00. It took forever to purchase this frame as the SKU was not coming up in the system. But, well-worth the wait.I had an old calendar on hand that fit the slots perfectly.Here is the finished product.Easy, simple, cheap and beautiful.

Stay tuned. More to come . . .
