Painting Picture Frames {Annie Sloan Chalk Paint}

Last Friday I posted my completed Santa Photos Gallery Wall.  You can find that post here.  I will be posting a series of mini tutorials that go along with the gallery wall.  The first  tutorial is painting all the mismatched frames to unify the wall.


These are the frames before collected since 1996.  They are all some sort of golden tone.  The red wall shelves were found at Goodwill for $2 each.  I like the dimension that they add to the wall.  The golf print has been hanging out in the attic for quite a few years.  It will become a chalkboard.



Almost all of these frames are meant to be used as tabletop frames.  Most did not have a wall hanging mechanism.  I hammered a claw wall hanger onto the back of each frame before painting.  I removed all of the photos, glass and mats from the frames and kept them in their spot.  I highly recommend taking a photo of the frames laid out before.  This will make the process of matching the frames back up with the proper photo much easier after painting.




I divided the frames into 2 sections mainly due to the size of my 2 drop cloths.  This actually made it a bit more manageable to paint.  First I dusted off the frames before painting.  Next I started painting with a dry brush method, dabbing my brush on a paper towel to get off any excess.  I wasn't looking to completely cover the wood.  I wanted some  of the gold to show through for a distressed look. I did sand a few of the frames after painting for a further distressed look.






In some cases, I would go back and wipe excess paint off.  Do this quickly.  ASCP dries fast.




I have already applied the clear wax.  Here I am now applying the dark wax.  Always apply clear wax before using dark.  It allows you to move it.  You can also add a tiny bit of the dark wax to your clear wax and complete this in one step.  I chose to do it in 2 steps so that I could control the dark areas better,  I then went back and buffed out the dark wax letting it rest in the crevices for that aged look.  





This frame is complete with clear and dark wax over Old White.  Make sure you buff well and allow to completely dry before adding your photos back.  I let these dry overnight.  They should be dry to the touch and not tacky.  If they are sticky then you have applied too much wax and have not buffed enough.  If this is your first attempt with this process, I highly recommend practicing first on a scrap piece of wood.  It really is quite simple!

Please let me know if you have any questions.  There are several more tutorials to go along with this post.  Here is the gallery wall hung!  I am very pleased with how it turned out!




For more detailed photos of this gallery wall please click here.

My move to WordPress is getting closer and closer!  The new site is look great and more organized.  I will sadly lose all of my Google Friends Connect followers. I encourage you to follow by Google+ or subscribe in the other ways mentioned.

    I never would have thought of using clear wax to help decorate a picture frame. That is definitely a good idea. It can be really frustrating to find good picture frames that all match. I love being able to have picture frames on my walls. There are always so many fun memories that you can decorate your home with.

    Christy, I paint funky furniture, making treasures and heirlooms for clients out of furniture that has seen better days, and SAVE everything because I just KNOW it will be useful someday…and I have some frames that I started painting…started..magic give away.. BUT..I did not start with a before wall like you did, and even thought I always say “Paint changes everything”, my gosh, I can’t believe how simple it was to totally transform your wall! You did a great job and I think I am going to dig all my frames out to fit my favorite pictures and do a wall like you did. It looks fabulous! And it was just paint AND your vision of “what could be”. Thanks for a wonderfully simple inspirational post! I love it! Your wall looks fantastic! Carolyn

    I love dry brushing frames. It can really bring an old picture frame back to life. You are not just limited to white though! try to choose a colors that complement the picture.

    I have so many picture frames, like hodgepodge that I’ve put away for that reason. This post has inspired me to try the ASCP..where do you buy it from? Does it come in spray paint also? I have an old clothes hamper that I have used for 49 years that I rec’d as a wedding gift. It needs a paint job badly and I’m wondering if ASCP would work on it or that Valspar paint you used that has the primer in it? You don’t find clothes hampers like this anymore, that’s why I won’t get rid of it.

      Betty,
      ASCP only comes in quart and sample pot form. It is fabulous! Yes, you could paint the clothes hamper with it also applying a top coat of wax. There are many tutorials of using this fabulous product! A little goes a very long way! Great coverage! Of course, anything you paint with whichever product is at your own discretion! Simply do a search for stockists of ASCP in your area. If there are none close by, The Purple Painted Lady does ships.

      Thanks Tara! The clear and dark waxes are products used to seal. The dark wax is added to age. You could also seal with a poly. You do not have to do the sealing step. Let me know if you need more help when you get ready to tackle a project! 🙂

    It looks terrific. I’ve used table top frames to hang on my wall too. Rather than hammer in a claw hanger, I’ve used the velcro picture hanging Command strips. Love the finished look. Great way to reuse old frames and not have to buy all new ones whenever you decide to add to or change up the gallery wall. New FB and blog follower too.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
