Ornate Beach Glass Frame

Green and Floral Round Tray Makeover

This round tray has been completely reimagined. Its original shabby chic white finish has been updated to a rich dark green, and a delicate floral rice paper adds a touch of elegance. A final layer of dark wax deepens the colour and accentuates the details, giving it a beautifully aged, vintage feel.

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?)
