… then they both looked quite sleek… like twin brothers…
… they make me want to twirl.
Ok, that didn’t rather work out like I hoped. but I’m sure you got the crux of the story. I grabbed two low-cost black frames at Target (they didn’t are available in white and I believe they were $21), sprayed them with the exact same built-in-primer-plus-spray-paint that I always utilize (Rustoleum universal in Satin White), let them dry, and then framed some prints (like the one I mentioned here) which had been sitting around providing me the stink eye for a while.
For those looking for framing specifics, I just flipped the paper that came in the frame over (so it was white) and centered the print on that, taped it down carefully with loops of tape in each corner, and popped that behind glass. We’ve heard from framing professionals that it’s finest to utilize mats so your print doesn’t touch the glass (which I assumption over time can cause issues) but we’ve utilized this technique with low-cost prints for the last 7 years or so and they’re still going strong. but perhaps if you have a super spendy product that you like (or you’re framing something in an particularly humid/moist room) it’s most likely better to do the traditional cut-mat thing instead of just the quick-fix of utilizing white paper behind it to produce a faux mat like ours.
This is the other print. Forgive me for trying difficult but apparently not difficult sufficient to get a few close ups of this (they all had crazy-weird reflections in the glass). but if you click over here, you can see it completely since they’re pros so their shots are nicer. Haha. We got the 17 x 23″ print for $26 and the frame that we utilized had a 22 x 28″ opening – so it just floats in the middle.
I like exactly how both prints are animal related. Are we sensing a theme? I’m that crazy cat lady. but instead of just keeping the focus on felines I’ve somehow handled to work narwhals and eagles and bears and manatees into the mix. Oh yes, it’s a diverse cast of animals around these parts.
I like exactly how it goes with my crazy HomeGoods pillow and the seven on the wall (which is actually the letter L from a dollar Tree indication that we got secondhand).
And for those asking where I hung the bee painting that I got for John… oh… a few years ago (!!!)… it lastly discovered a home. Strike up the band. Seriously. Someone. Anyone? Can I get a bit cowbell?
The bee painting actually now resides with the remarkable Burger portrait that I got from my good friend Lesli for my birthday (mentioned here). I liked it leaning casually on the mantel, but providing it a true area on the wall with the bees was sweet. two birthday paintings sitting together like old pals. Ohemgee and I just realized these are two more animal-related things. I officially requirement some kind of expert help. Am I an animal portrait hoarder? Is there some kind of county quota for exactly how many animals I’m enabled to have in the home if they’re of the painted and ceramic variety? I hope not. You guys will pay my bail if there is, right? Or are you going to provide me tough like and make me offer them on craigslist to make bail?
Wait, I just realized that this should be categorized as a “Dude, get on that Already” challenge! It’s definitely something that I’ve been meaning to get on for a few months (well, in the case of the bees, a few years). Yesssss. I did it. I actually got on that, yo. now I only have 100 other things to paint/hang/figure out. just sitting in the playroom. Mocking me. You understand I’ll keep you posted!
What have you guys been dealing with that’s method overdue? any frame-spraying or art-hanging going on in your neck of the woods? have you ever noticed some crazy style when it comes to the subject of the art you’re most drawn to? tell us we’re not alone in our Noah’s-Arc-ish like of mass quantities of animals.
Psst- speaking of updates in song, inspect out Clara dancing (raving?) her heart out over on young home Life. It’s official, I’ve been dethroned as the very best dancer in our house.
