New Use For An Old Frame

I brought a couple of framed pieces with us when we moved just because I wanted to use the frames for other things.  This is one of those frames.  I recently got a vinyl from my fave Etsy vinyl shop, Empressive Designs, with one of my favorite quotes {she’s got a great sale going on right now, too!}.

I had this quote stenciled in our great room in the old house and I always loved it.  I hated that I had to paint over it when we went on the market.  So, now I have a vinyl of it and I wanted to use it in the laundry room.   This area is also our entrance into the house from the garage and we use it all the time.  This room is going to have to be painted, so I didn’t want to apply the vinyl right to the wall. 

I found a fabric scrap that I liked and that fit the old mat and backing that went with this frame.  I just covered over the whole thing and hot glued the two ends to the back. 

The long sides were just a bit short, but I took care of that with some trim.   I popped it back into the frame and then applied the vinyl right onto the glass.  This way I can always change out the fabric if I want to.

Here it is hanging just below my new shelves {I installed and they are level!} and above the washer/dryer. 

I’ll be sharing more of the laundry room with you as I finish up my additions to this area.  I want it to be a welcoming entry, even though you are walking right into the washer/dryer!
