I have these two frames, they are nice frames, but not nice enough. Now that I have become a …ahem, ahem… blogger, I cannot leave anything alone. And so it is time to mess up the perfectly good frames – I mean upcycle them.
Έχω αυτές τις δύο κορνίζες, είναι ωραίες κορνίζες, αλλά όχι αρκετά καλές. Τώρα που έχω γίνει … γκούχ γκούχ
… blogger, δεν μπορώ να αφήσω τίποτα στην ησυχία του. Και έτσι ήρθε η ώρα να χαλάσω τις κορνίζες - εννοώ να τις ανανεώσω.
First step, I repaint them using white acrylic. This one is actually the other frame , they are not a matched pair but they had the same metallic finish on them.
Πρώτο βήμα, να τις ξαναβάψω χρησιμοποιώντας λευκό ακρυλικό χρώμα. Αυτή είναι η άλλη κορνίζα, δεν είναι ένα ζευγάρι αλλά έχουν το ίδιο μεταλλικό φινίρισμα.
Then I create a new paint using metallic silver and white. I dry brushed this onto the frames in certain areas.
Μετά δημιουργήσω ένα νέο χρώμα χρησιμοποιώντας μεταλλικό ασημί και λευκό. Θα ξηρό βουρτσίσω αυτό επάνω στις κορνίζες σε ορισμένες περιοχές.
The last step was to create a beige using yellow, red and a tiny bit of blue. I then added white and came up with this warm color to offset the silvery tones of the previous dry paint.
Το τελευταίο βήμα ήταν η δημιουργία ενός μπεζ χρησιμοποιώντας κίτρινο, κόκκινο και λίγο μπλε. Στη συνέχεια πρόσθεσα λευκό και κατέληξα σε αυτό το ζεστό χρώμα για να αντισταθμίσει τις ασημένιες αποχρώσεις του προηγούμενου ξηρού χρώματος.
I used this color sparingly to highlight the design.
Χρησιμοποίησα αυτό το χρώμα με φειδώ για να τονίσω το σχεδιασμό.
This is the second frame with the other design, same process.
Αυτή είναι η δεύτερη κορνίζα με το άλλο σχέδιο, ίδια διαδικασία.
And the end result.
Και το τελικό αποτέλεσμα.

And so my destructive tendencies have been satisfied – I mean creative tendencies. They actually look like distressed wood . Who is to know that underneath is silver plated metal. I won’t tell, will you?
Και έτσι οι καταστροφικές τάσεις μου έχουν ικανοποιηθεί – εννοώ οι δημιουργικές τάσεις. Στην πραγματικότητα μοιάζουν με παλιό ξύλο. Ποιος θα γνώριζε ότι κάτω είναι ασήμι μέταλλο. Εγώ δεν θα το πω, εσείς;

They really do look totally transformed, I don't think I would have dared but I guess 'who dares wins'!

Exactly Julie, and if you don't like something get rid of it or change it. That's how I think, no need to be surrounded with things we don't like especially since we have the ability to upcycle.

Never leave shiny things alone - the motto of a blogger. The frames look great with that old distressed look. Much more interesting!

Thank you Beverly, the funny part is when I started I did not know what I was trying to achieve only that I wanted a change. I'll see you next Sunday and have a great week.

Great transformation! I never cared much for shiny finishes on frames. The distressed look is so much better. Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!!
