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.

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 Michelle, I’m headed to Ace today for the frames I painted.
Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle says
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

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.

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.

ps–i LOVE that photo of your family.

Lovely Little Nest says
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?
Michelle (Three Men and a Lady) says
Lovely Little Nest,
11X14 piece of glass from Ace cost me less than $5.00!
Becky says
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!
