Greetings Cottage Friends,
I've been working on makeover projects this week. Give me home decor screaming for a makeover, place a paint brush in my hand, and I'm a happy girl.
I found a wall hanging at the thrift store, with one of my favorite scripture verses, for $4. I liked everything about the piece, except the frame. That didn't stop me from buying it though; I knew I could makeover the frame.
Half way through the painting process I realized I hadn't taken a "before" photo, but I did manage to get a portion of the frame so you can see what it looked like before I painted it.
I felt like the colors used on the frame were bland and didn't do justice to the raised design. I gave the whole frame one coat of Waverly steel chalk paint, and a dry brush of Waverly white chalk paint only on the raised portion of the frame.
Now this wall hanging works with my style.
The scripture is one that I have clung to through difficult times, and it has always encouraged me.
Hugs,
Your transformation is beautiful...and that verse I too love ♥
ReplyDeleteWow $4 is such a great deal and I love what you did with the frame. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAmazing transformation!! Love your vision for "what could be".
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your posts, whether they feature your delightful projects or
encouraging hymns and devotions.
May the Lord continue to reveal His plans for you. Thank you for allowing
us share your your journey.

Thank you, Nancy. It's an encouragement to me to read your comment. Every day I'm struck by the faithfulness of God. He has never let me down! Keep warm, Spring is coming! Hugs.

ReplyDeletedefinitely updated the drab frame to make it shine on the wall.
Great job! I think the frame is much nicer now. That verse has been a good one over the years in my life, too!

ReplyDeletePerfect! I love the font!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I want you to know that your posts bring me comfort. I feel that I can actually hear your calming voice as I read.
ReplyDeleteOn June 6, 2020 my daughter Emily had a massive stroke and was life flighted to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. She underwent brain surgery which saved her life and I praise my Lord for that. She is still in a rehabilitation center near me. Em is fighting hard to gain some independence. I have been so afraid for her. Your topics bring me comfort.
I love you sweet friend. Thank you again and again.

Renee, I'm so sorry to learn about Emily. I will be praying for her recovery. I'm glad my posts bring you comfort. That's certainly the Lord's doing, and I praise Him for that! Knowing all that you have been through the past 10 years, it's a great encouragement to me to know that you continue to trust the Lord. Gentle hugs.
