Ornate Beach Glass Frame

Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

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?)
