I just love old frames. I guess you could say I collect them. The possibilities are endless.
This time I actually used this frame for its intended purpose (with the addition of a little white spray…of course).
Did you know you can purchase and have cut glass from ACE hardware?
They sell it in several widths that can be used for picture frames or to place on a desk top.

Later this week I’ll post what I did with these frames.
P.S. Check out the little guest spot feature I did on 6th Street Design School today.
P.S.S. Hi Kristen, It was fun to meet you at Home Goods yesterday! May the next 9 weeks treat you well.
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
I love old frames too, especially spray painted, they look so nice in any home.
Endless possibilities, you are so right! Love the look of the white frames in your entry area! Janell

Love the frame and the gorgeous family in it!
Hey Michelle, I’m headed to Ace today for the frames I painted.
I love buying frames too. Arrangements of old frames that are hung empty can be just as interesting as those filled with prints or other artwork.
Gorgeous
Very cute!
Michelle, Spray paint is your friend, it looks great. It is also fun to see your beautiful family and your gorgeous entry hall. Happy Tuesday,Kathysue
PS I did a post on using artless frames on walls here

I love the room featured on 6th Street Design. Black and yellow could have been a disaster but you did it to perfection.
LOVE what you did with the frames!! Beautiful!!!
Every time I read your blog I think to my self.. why didn’t I know she was so talented when we were together in Hawaii? Have you ever wanted to help design for someone else? I would love to be your client!
Oh I love the way they came out. Too beautiful!
I wish I could find more frames like that in my next of the woods.
I LOVE that frame! That’s one thing I can’t find very often here are beautiful frames like that!
Thanks Michelle! It was fun to meet you, too…and oh course it would be at Homegoods:) Your boys are adorable!
Love the frame and great family pic!
LOVE this!
Thank you for telling us where we could get glass for picture frames or desktops! I tried getting glass at Home Depot but they said to try a local glass store – but going to an ACE hardware store will be so much more convenient.
love the frames you found! thanks for the tip about Ace, too.
ps–i LOVE that photo of your family.
I love what you did to those frame. I’ve decided to do one of mine like yours. Thanks
Beautiful frames…love the white!
Can’t wait to see what you do with the frame collection!
Good to know about ACE! I’m in the market for a cut piece of glass, but keeping putting it off.
Thanks for the tip! And the frame looks gorgeous.
Just discovered your blog and I know I’ll be back very often. You have a BEAUTIFUL home and I love all the fab ideas and tips you offer.
Beautiful frame – and even more beautiful family! 🙂
Gorgeous! What a great frame. =)
Love the white frame! I wish I could find some good ones around here! Lucky!

I love purchasing old frames and painting them!
Question: about how much does it cost to buy cut glass? I know it depends on the size, so, what have you bought it for and how much did it cost?
Lovely Little Nest,
11X14 piece of glass from Ace cost me less than $5.00!
OK, I’m going to have to stop reading your blog because you give me SO many good ideas that I am now visiting my thrift stores at least 3 times a week, coming home with something cool every time. You really have great style and amazing ideas! Thanks for sharing!
The frames are great looking. But I spy an amazing lamp!
