Here's the finished product! I had so much fun making these two pieces of art. I've had the matching floral paintings for a long time, but never really liked them the way they were. I loved the frames though! So, I decided to give them a makeover. I haven't painted in a long time. I didn't know how much I missed it! It was so relaxing.
This past weekend, Justin went hunting and I got really motivated to hang up a bunch of things at our house. I always think he should do it (because I usually put way too many holes in the wall)...but I think I did ok this time. I just went for it. Now we FINALLY have stuff hung up. I just had to get over my intimidation of more wall space, and just decide already!
I put these two on either side of our dining room window. Trying to figure out if I should paint the frames a fun color? I like the antique look they have, but a fun bold color would be fun too.
To make one yourself...
*First, simply stencil or free hand your text on an old painting with a pencil
*Next, pick a color of paint and start painting around the outline of your text, to leave only the text showing!
*Lastly...hang and enjoy!
those are so pretty!! i might try to do that with an old painting i found this past weekend!
