Ornate Beach Glass Frame

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

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?)
