I love finding neat inexpensive pieces of art and tweaking them.  This piece is an original and dated 1941.  That's pretty cool I think.

This picture was used in a staging a few months back

art over fireplace

 

 

 

 

I used it here because the gold frame complimented the brass on the fireplace and the ceiling lights.

 

This is what it looks like after painting the frame a very soft white.

I've painted many of frame in my time. Mostly for my own home. But now for my business! I personally love the rock fireplace! We have to stay creative.

It looks totally different in the white frame.  I just painted a frame black and loved the look-but never thought to paint white.  You are very clever indeed!

Ah, the power of paint.  Works great on frames and about a million other items.  I keep a stockpile of black, espresso brown, white and off-white paint on hand.  I love transforming the look of something in a matter of minutes.  Can you tell I have issues with patience?  Thanks for sharing this, Virginia!

I just painted a frame that was brassy gold that like.  I first painted it black and then rubbed some bronze over the black.  It looks great. 

Your white looks great too.  Way to recycle!
