These frames caught my eye at the dollar tree. I liked the accents on the corner and immediately knew I could find some way to use them.
Before: (excuse the hideous tile in our basement. It's where I do most of my spray painting.)
After:
I then used them to spiffy up the area by our back door.
Before: drab and plain~this is after our kitchen remodel.
After: I purchased a vinyl "pretty chalkboard" (that is what it was actually called on the package) at Homegoods (I love this store). I then added the small dollar tree frames. It looks wonderful here now.
The next project begins with an old tray I had at home.
Before:
After: I spray painted it and added some goodies that I picked up at our local Anthropologie (more on this wonderful store in an upcoming post).
These milk glasses are perfect. I love the mug, nice and big for my morning cup of coffee.
When I spray painted the tray it began to crackle. I'm not sure why but I liked it anyway. A happy accident.

I love those cute little clocks! What a great make-over. Your spray paint might have crackled like that if there was some oil or residue on it, or if you didn't prime it first.
Love the frames! I often look but never find great frames at dollar tree...so jealous!

Love these, haven't seen them at my dollar store yet, but hopefully they will get something like them soon. the dollar store is my favorite place.
What great projects! The frames look very professional, I would have never guessed they were $1! Nice work! :)
It is simply amazing what a simple can of spray paint will do to anything. I love your projects here and your frames look wonderful!!!
Wow! You always amaze me, Ruth! I love what you did with those frames and the tray (the crackling looks neat).
It all looks great, Ruth!! I love all the lightening and brightening you are doing!!

love the color you chose for your kitchen redo... and you did a great job on the frames. i especially like that you didn't put pictures in it! creative!
Ruth,
I love the frames!!! I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner! Things have been very bust around here lately! I don't have much luck keeping in touch with most of the ladies from our old MJF thread! I hear from Steph every so often! I pray that all is well with you!!
Hugs,Monica
