Μια φίλη μπλογκερ σχολίασε σε ένα πρόσφατο έργο μου για κορνίζες, ότι είμαστε ανίκανοι να αφήσουμε τίποτα λαμπερό στην ησυχία του.
Και για να αποδείξω αυτό το σημείο έχω βρει μια ομάδα από τρεις κορνίζες που είχα αγοράσει σε διαφορετικές χρονικές στιγμές στη ζωή μου. Τις είχα βάλει μαζί, επειδή όλες είχαν ένα χρυσό / ασημί φινίρισμα σε ξύλο. Τις χρησιμοποίησα να βάλω τις εικόνες των παιδιών μου όταν ήταν μωρά.
Στη συνέχεια, μια δεύτερη στρώση σε καθαρό λευκό. Και κατόπιν χρησιμοποίησα μια πέτρα, που την έσυρα πάνω από τις άκρες για να πάρει μια φθαρμένη όψη. Αυτό είναι γνωστό ως η χρήση των εξελιγμένων μηχανημάτων.
Έβαλα
καρφιά στην πορεία του υφάσματος και κρέμασα τις κορνίζες.
A fresh new look for my babies (who are no longer babies – in fact they are all taller than me). The frames all match but still retain a bit of individuality underneath. And another project bites the dust. Now I’ll have to look around and find more frames to renew – or banish the shine!
Μια εντελώς νέα εμφάνιση για τα μωρά μου (που δεν είναι πλέον μωρά – στην πραγματικότητα όλα είναι πιο ψηλά από μένα). Οι κορνίζες ταιριάζουν, αλλά εξακολουθούν να διατηρούν ένα κομμάτι ιδιαιτερότητας από κάτω. Και ένα άλλο έργο τελείωσε. Τώρα θα πρέπει να κοιτάζω γύρω και να βρω περισσότερες κορνίζες για ανανέωση – η να
εξορίσω τη λάμψη! !

Πολύ όμορφη δουλειά Μαίρη μου. Απλές κορνίζες απέκτησαν χαρακτήρα και αναδεικνύουν με τον καλύτερο τρόπο τις αγαπημένες σου φωτογραφίες. ‘Εξυπνη ιδέα η χρησιμοποίηση της κορδέλας για να τις “δέσεις” μεταξύ τους. Καλή συνέχεια…
Ευχαριστω, Χριστίνα μου, ηταν καιρός για ανανέωση.
Mary, all the set looks awesome right now! I love the fabric behind and the pin add a chic style. Lovely way to display their pictures
Thanks, Pili. I had to do something to pull it all together.
Mary these frames are beautiful and so are your kiddos!!! Love that pin!!
Aww Keri, thanks for the love. Those kiddos are no more… they are all taller than poor me. 😉
This is a beautiful do-over project…and your “babies” are all adorable.
From Before and After
Thank you bj. and thanks for dropping by.
Hey, as long as the machinery gets the job done, who cares how sophisticated it is, right? I love the idea of fabric and the pin! Thanks for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things!
Jas, thank you, yes I had very expensive machinery – it was so expensive that n ow I’ve lost it. Thanks for dropping by.
Very nice sweet Mary, love the repurposing idea of using an old brooch!
Thanks Marie, I thought it would be a shame if it just sat in a drawer. Thanks for stopping by.
Such a sweet project, Mary. I really love the brooch idea. I have 3 of my grandmother’s but haven’t figured out what I want to do with them yet. Maybe a shadowbox? The frames look great–nice job!
Sharon, we usually have lots of stuff hiding, and sometimes we get lucky and remember it and then the magic happens. Of course there might be little elves out there that help us to find the precious. 😉
I love how these turned out, Very nice.
Thank you Trish, I’m happier with the wall too now that it looks like a unit.
Very clever!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Susan thanks for your sweet comment, and Bentley is adorable!! You got me in my soft spot!
I know your babies are all grown now, but they sure we’re adorable! That cute little hat on your daughter is precious :).
I never would have thought to use a stone for distressing. Very resourceful. The brooch was a nice touch for the frames!
Doreen, I just opened my computer this morning and found your sweet words. You just made my morning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I love your use of high tech equipment!
I’ve been painting old frames round here to give them a new look but I think I’m going in the opposite direction to you – I’m mostly taking wooden frames and spray painting them gold!
Either way it’s nice to reuse old things rather than buying new all the time.
Julie this is so true. So satisfying to change up something in your home. I just checked out your blog, your gold frame is beautiful and the doily certainly is a treasure. Thanks for dropping by.
Mary these turned out awesome, I especially like how you hung them up. Thanks also for leaving me such a sweet comment on my blog. Unfortunately I have no idea on how to get rust off, I have only ever put rust on…LOL..Wish I had a tip for you!!!! Greetings from WA State
Aww Christine, and I was counting on you. Oh well, I really wouldn’t mind the rust except that I can’t get the thing opened. Thanks for your sweet comment and for dropping by.
Mary, I love how you’ve unified the look of the frames. And the bit of bling on top…now that’s my kinda project! Thanks for sharing at Five Star Frugal this week. Love, Mimi xxx
Mimi, I suspected you would like this one. The bling does it!! Thanks for stopping by.
I love the transformation! I would banish the shine as well 🙂
Thanks April. I had it for too long, it was time for a change!
I love how you used three different types of frames to make this – such a great idea and a good way to unify projects. Love it!
Thanks Sarah, it was bad enough that the backgrounds of the pictures were all over the place, I had to unify them somehow. Thanks for stopping by.
Aww such sweet photos! I love how the project turned out!
And such a funny line… “This is what is known as use of sophisticated machinery.” 😛
Thanks Sarah Eliza, so glad you got my reference. Thanks for stoppping by.
Great post, the frames look lovely 🙂 #waywow
Debbie
Thanks Debbie. I was just looking through your blog and I really like that you tackle such a large range of subjects. I’m going back to read about your favorite bloggers. Thanks for stopping by.
I love the pin and fabric as a pretty way to hang your frames. I also love the way you used a stone! Nice job. Stopping by from Moonlight and Mason Jars.
Why thank you, I wanted it to be light not heavy handed. And the fabric was very pretty. Thank you for visiting.
I love painting frames to give them a fresh look. Using a pin and ribbon instead of just nailing them to the wall is creative. Looks great!
Thank you Emily. Best part I got to use a pin that was otherwise just sitting in a drawer.
My sister has done this to frame before and I’ve always loved it! 🙂
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thanks Jess, it does create unity and gives it a vintage flavor.
Great post! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thanks for visiting.
The frames look great!
Thank you T’onna. See you on Sunday!
That’s another lovely project, Mary! Cute pictures. It’s a beautiful way to make those moments eternal.
Thanks for sharing it on #tiptuesday.
And they look almost new. Thanks for dropping by Debbie!
Mary, I really like how you painted your frames! Great job! So fun to see pictures of your kids when they are little. Thanks so much for sharing your projects every week @ Dream. Create. Inspire. Link. I hope you will join us tomorrow night @ 8 EST. Take care, Tara
Tara it is time to redo the whole house and freshen up a bit and so I figured I would start with the small stuff. See you at the party.
I love how your frames turned out. I’m not much into shiny silver or gold. Just a little bit of shine is ok. Looks like your pictures fit perfectly with the new colors of the frames. I guess I am a little behind I haven’t tried any of the sophisticated machinery that you used for these frames. LOL
Linda I don’t like shine anymore either. But truth be told it it was looking really outdated in here. I am much happier with these white frames. . As for my sophisticated machinery, stones are really underrated! 😉
Oooo I like the way these turned out and the way you used the ribbon to join them all together. Really lovely Mary
Thank you Michelle, I needed a way to display them that was not boring but to connect them as one.
This really turned out nicely Mary! Must have been that “sophisticated machinery” you used. They do all look uniform now…I’m telling you it looks very professionally done. I know you are going to enjoy seeing your “babies.”
So looks like it is time to go back to the basement to find your next project now.
Florence thank you so much. Right now I am decluttering so no need to go to the basement. I’ve got more than I can handle right here.
