One of the only things I found at Home Goods the last trip there were some frames on clearance {very disappointing trip}. One of the frames I got was this little gold number ~ $5.00. It’s very heavy and very gold.
To make it work for me I decided to dry brush some paint on it to cut down on the gold a bit. I used this craft paint called Sky Blue {which is more of a Robin’s Egg Blue to me}.
I left some of the gold showing, but this frame now fits in with my bedroom.
I think a picture of hubby and I will be just perfect for it!

I LOVE your frame re-do! It's so gorgeous and just perfect in colour!! Angie xo
WOW!!! Never thought of painting something with blue to cut the gold (I always think black!) It looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Kathy! I never really thought of doing those things until I started blogging and now I look at everything differently. :-) Thanks so much for the great inspiration!

Kathy, I love this blue paint you used on the frame. It really toned it down!

I love how you changed up this frame. Don't you hate when you walk out of Home Goods empty handed. I am hosting my very first linky party. This would be a great post to link up. It's under yesterday's post and the link will be open for a few more days.
The blue with a touch of gold showing through is really pretty - would go great in my bedroom.

Kathy, I love the blue & gold color combo. This frame turned out so pretty! Have a wonderful weekend, Nicole
It looks great! I like that you left some of the gold showing. And I know how you feel. I went to Goodwill yesterday and came back with a big fat goose egg. =(

Pretty!
Are you using it to stage?
How is that coming, are you ready yet?
If so, you are one fast stager--I think I am lolly-gagging because I think I have a year left.
But this year, 2011, i haven't done diddly squat yet.
I'd better get moving, huh?

The simplest color change can make all the difference. I really like that color!
It turned out really pretty, Kathy. What a great idea!...Christine

I'm so glad you linked up this post to my party. I really do love what you did with this frame.
Wow, what a difference a little blue makes! That frame is gorgeous now.
100% Better! Great job :D
I love the blue with the gold showing through! I wouldn't have thought it would turn out so cute. A picture of you two would be the perfect addition!
I think it looks great - I really like how the gold is peaking through the blue! I am sure a photo of you two will be perfect.
