Thrift Store Treasure


Thought I would post this as well, since I was proud of myself because I am not normally very crafty!  I found this @ Savers (thrift store).  It was a picture frame "easel", covered in some weird metal material that was in bad shape.  I wish I had taken a before picture!  Anyway, I brought it home and removed the easel pieces of it, ripped off the metal stuff, sanded it all down, painted it black, sanded a little more for the antique look, and then covered with a stain to finish it.  Finally, I have something on the huge blank wall in my kitchen/dining area.  And the frame only cost me 9 dollars!  It fits four 8X10 photos, so I think it was a steal!  Now I get to see this beautiful face from my kitchen at all times!
