Meta Monday: Frame change

It's Meta Monday again! Unfortunately, we've all been sickies this week, so I don't have much to show. Actually I have a lot to show, but it's all covered in used tissues, bottles of medicine, juice and the general flotsam and jetsam of being sick. Blah. I decided that I would show you the frame I repainted for last weeks bathroom makeover.

I had this gold frame tucked away in a closet. It was....gold. Yuck. I'm not a fan of gold frames unless they are around an antique master and hung in a stately home or museum. Why I have this frame, I don't know. I needed a frame for a photo to go in the bath and this would be perfect. You know if it weren't gold.


What's a girl with a gold frame to do? Paint it of course! Since the bathroom is done in blue, I went an ice blue.


I then used a darker blue to pick out some of the details.


Unfortunately, it was too blue. I know, I'm as shocked as you are, but there you have it. I took the photo back out and pulled out a bottle of white. I did a light layer of white over all the blue.


And here it is in my bathroom. Much improved from the gold don't you think?
