I was shopping around for a an old picture frame for two months for a project I wanted to use it for. Its was hard to fine what I was looking for, but I knew the look and the feel I was going for. This frame is everything I wanted and I can not wait to show you what I am going to use it for. The frame has some markings on the back and to be honest, I love the idea it came from Italy and the craftsmanship on this frame is beautiful. It use to hold a artist's painting from Italy, but to no avail I couldn't figure out anymore information. If anyone has knowledge in this area, please do share.
Here is the before:
 |
| The name is Santo Ficara. |
 |
| I love this wooden mat. I was going to replace the fabric, but I left it on, because it kept the old vintage look I was going for. |
 |
| I am loving the metallic glaze. Its a lovely color. |
Here is the vintage frame all fixed up:
 |
| Spray painted the frame ivory. |
 |
| Brushed on the glaze all over the frame and I let it sit for about 5 minutes. |
 |
| Wiped off with a lint free cloth. |
 |
| The resulted are just lovely! |
 |
| I love how the mat makes the frame look vintage. |
Come back to see what I am going to hang inside this lovely vintage frame. I appreciate you stopping by and I LOVE your SWEET comments. Have a great week.
Hugs,
Vanessa
