Photo Finish

Well, I was so excited about my new project that I couldn't wait and had to finish it last night. I was so smart and kept the little paint samples from the bathroom, so I had plenty to paint my picture frames. I was disappointed to find out that all of the picture frames that I had gotten yesterday were all attached. That was fine. I just decided to have fun with it and see what I could come up with. What I decided on was this. There were four picture frames. I decided to put our monogram in the first frame and then the date of our wedding in the other three frames. I thought it turned out pretty cute. Take a peek!!

As you can see, I couldn't resist adding in a little dachshund to the piece to honor my sweet baby, Oscar. Since our initials are in brown polka dots, I did Oscar in green polka dots to sort of bind the three of us together. I know that sounds crazy but I thought it was sweet!! Now all that is left is to hang it on the wall. Not bad for 20 bucks! I'm thinking that I am going to have to redo the frame with the 8 in it. It is hard to see. But other than that, I thought it turned out cute. Very shabby chic. Here are some close ups.

My next project is similar to this one. While I was painting on the frames, I decided to paint the lamp that I already have. It was brown and an eyesore in the new bedroom. I have been looking for a new lamp but I haven't found one that I like, plus I haven't wanted to spend the money on a new one. So one man's trash is my treasure! Now I have plans for the lamp shade, but that's another post!!
