Re-purposed Picture Frames



Sorting through boxes one afternoon I discovered I had accumulated a large assortment of mismatched artwork. Pictures that no longer matched the color or theme of the rooms they had once adorned. I set them aside intent on boxing them up to donate to my local thrift store when suddenly it hit me. Though the pictures were no longer usable, the frames were still in good shape and could be re-purposed. So that is exactly what I did.
  I left the frames as they were, choosing to use black and white photos to bring a sense of unity to the assortment. (Still need to fill a few, as you can see.) You could also paint the frames all the same. For example, all black or all white. That would pull them together also. Strictly up to you and your own decor. The only cost involved was copying the photos and resizing them to fit. All and all I am quite happy with the way it turned out and thrilled that I was able to make something old feel new again.
Inexpensive project with a big impact!
