60 Degrees in January & A Sneak Peak

I thought I would share a quick peak at something I've been up to this week. It was 60 degrees here today and it felt amazing! Taking full advantage of the stunning weather I pulled out my handy dandy can of spray paint and did a quick make over on this picture frame. So sorry, but in my haste I forgot to take a before pic. It was previously a white washed frame with three pics inset. Ever since finishing the bath redo it has bugged me.

I removed the glass and pics, then gave the frame a quick coat of black satin. While it was drying I stained the letters ($1ea @ Michaels) with a dark stain (jacobean by minwax, already had ) and attached the burlap (already had) to the back of the mat. Then attach the letters to the burlap with fabri-tac (the most magical adhesive ever!) Once the frame is dry, I give it a quick distressing and then reassemble. I had about 30 minutes actual work in it and $3.18. Then back to work I went on the other projects. It feels great to be getting something done again! 

I will add that tomorrow I will be dreaming of the sea while the inches of snow pile up here. I guess I should look on the bright side, winter is very late in showing up this year.
Thanks for stopping..
