I do not like the gold brassy look of the 80's anymore. Although I am sure it will come back and we will all want it in our homes again like those awful brass swans making a comeback! So with a can of Krylon I got to work on some thrifted items from this past week.
Although I like the tangerine color it has a chip in it and doesn't go in my kitchen. So with a little paint it transforms to this......
I found this chandelier and freshly painted it....
And this little shelf from Goodwill.......

I am loving the rope and tassel bottom. The paint really brings out the details!
Love it in black......
I took some pretty scrapbook paper cut it to size to glue to the back of the frame.
I added a sand dollar and glued to the center of the paper. I got a piece of ribbon and threaded into the frame to use as a hanger.

Super, duper, DUPER fabulous re-dos! Love the chandy and the little frame!
That frame is spectacular! I've been looking everywhere for an ornate frame like that with no luck! great job!
Wow! I need to go thrifting. You've really inspired me to look around for some similar items to redo. I saw your link at Debbie's Newbie Party. Mine is #92. Come visit.
Those are great finds and you really made them look spectacular. I love what you did with the frame.
Hey Deneen..yes you are correct..painting changes everything. Thanks so much for joining my newbie party.
Very creative. You make me want to be braver with paint and look at things from a different point of view. I wouldn't have thought twice about that shelf, because of the brass. Now I seen not to judge a shelf by it's color. It looks great black!
Nice changes!! Oh that sand dollar in the frame is a precious idea too!!
I agree with you on the brass,the only place I like brass anymore is on our sailboat!!
Have a great week!! :D
Beautiful! Spray paint is so wonderful. You have an eye for picking out good pieces!
Love the little black frame redo. I've got an ugly gold frame and lots of shells. I feel a project coming on! I'm a new follower.
