thrifty: the ugly frame-turned-photo-prop

i saw a wall of frames once on Tara Whitney's blog. of course i can't find the picture now to show you how cute it was.

but i fell in love.

almost as much in love as i am with chai. but not quite.

since then, i've been on the hunt for frames. big frames. small frames.

ALL cheap frames.

and while i was on a hunt for chairs (which i found...coming later), i found this frame.

this VERY BIG FRAME.

for $3.

thank you American Legion yard sale...(by the way, American Legion yard sale, you smelled like moth balls...)

and i ripped out the ehem...ugly 70's painting.

sanded it down.

Picture 005


sprayed it.

Picture 008


let 'er dry.

and then used it.
