Ornate Beach Glass Frame

Soft Neutral Shades Media Cabinet

Fresh Start for a Veneer Classic This manufactured media cabinet—with its once orange-tinged wood veneer—has been completely refreshed in a soft, neutral taupe called French Villa . Inside the glass-front doors, the adjustable shelf pops in Truffle , a beautifully rich and earthy shade from a newly released palette. The warm, complementary colors work together to give this piece a stylish, modern update and a brand new lease on life.

I love frames, they are an easy way to add color to a room and can be used for more then just art or photos. My favorite use is as a sun glasses holder.

The above right ornate frame is the makeover project for this post.

It had a burgundy velour trim as seen above that I carefully removed then scrubbed the frame us well.

While I was painting this sweet jewelry box in American Paint Co's beach glass, I decided to do the frame in the same color.

While paint was just drying I went distressed to reveal the pretty gold under color thru the blue green paint.

To age it further and give definition to the ornate details I used my favorite Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax (see how it makes things pop on the left where the right is just the paint?)
