Picture Frame Makeover

Don't you just love it when a long awaited projects starts to come together? We've had the one large oil landscape on the staircase for years. It's a favorite painting of mine. It's what my hubby and I gave each other that year for Christmas. 

I've toyed with different ideas to complete the blank space, but nothing really sang to me. I'd started collecting vintage oils from thrift stores and vintage shops. I eventually hung a few in different areas of our home. One day it hit me…..I should do a landscape gallery wall with old and new oils or just landscapes.

I've loved the look of gallery walls like this that I've seen on Instagram and Pinterest. I'm drawn to that old collected French Country Farmhouse Style. While I love neutrals, I could never sway from my love of color. Landscapes offer such a wide array of color especially when little structures are included like cottages and barns. 

While our gallery wall is far from complete, it's well on its way my friends. I finally felt like I had enough to start hanging. Enough so that it didn't look awkward. Now it's like a puzzle piece. That will make the hunt a pleasure. 

Make sure you stay around to the end to see the other latest makeovers from the Thrift Store Decor Team!

Here is a current photo of the gallery wall. We still have a ways to go, but love the way it's coming together.

oil painting

I adore the oil or maybe acrylic that I picked up at The Restore. I love the art, but not the frame coloring so much. The frame size is great. I love a chunky frame. The coloring is just too golden for me. There are a lot of golds that come out in the art, and I feel that the art gets lost in it. Not bad for a $12.99 price tag!

art and paint

A quick and easy way to update this frame is with Rub ‘n Buff in Ebony. It's an oil based product. In other words, you can't clean your brush with soap and water. I buy cheap brushes for crafts using this product. I find that it's just easier to use and toss. In this case, it was just an old brush. This project took less than 5 minutes. How fabulous is that!

I only applied one coat and didn't try to be too perfect with it. I liked some of the golden tones coming through the black.

art

I love how the ebony makes the art pop now. The black also unifies it somewhat with the dark tones in the larger pieces. There are a couple of other frames here that might get a slight makeover as well.

Notice the gold coming through in areas.

gallery wall

I just purchased a larger oil piece while at the beach in July at The Restore there. I'm going to have to rearrange a couple of the pieces here.

This picture hanging tool is the best thing I've found for hanging this wall. Now to hunt for more to hang!

    Christy,

    What an awesome and easy way to update a thrift store artwork frame! I love rub-n-buff, but I’ve never used a brush. I always use my finger….so many more possibilities using a small brush!

    pinning!

    Christy I love what you did with the frame and it makes a difference. You have a nice collection going.

    Rub N Buff is amazing isn’t it? Been using it for quite a while.

    Have a great rest of your week

    Cindy

Instagram post 2196188895443884497_206981062 Had a wonderful morning with my mom. I took her for a couple of tests then late breakfast @strossnersbakery YUMMY! It's been another chilly, dreary day. Blog work is done for tomorrow and kitchen is clean. Time to hunker down for the evening with a glass of wine and catch up on the DVR. We watch TV in the bedroom right here mosts nights unless UNC Tarheel basketball is on. Then it's me solo with my Hallmark movies. Sweet dreams 🛏

Instagram post 2195488098942930120_206981062 We are loving the evening glow of the small tree in our master bedroom. This is the first time we've ever put a tree in our bedroom. I'm not sure what took us so long. Settling in for the night on the loveseat and catching up on Ray Donovan. Sweet dreams, friends! Link in bio @oursouthernhome to tour room.

Instagram post 2192570162787751202_206981062 Last week was fabulous with my 2 Clemson Tigers home for Thanksgiving. The house is all quiet again and busy cleaning after the festivities. This hot chocolate bar was a big hit and got lots of use. I think it will stay just like this through the month and maybe all winter minus the Christmas decor of course. Loving my plaid indoors and out. You can find all the details on the blog by visiting my link in bio @oursouthernhome

Instagram post 2191497719050492016_206981062 I am so blessed to have a fabulous "light girl!" 👧She installs the string lights for me and I let her do what she wants. I had to reign her in a bit this year! Any guess who my installer is? I'm going to shoot some nighttime photos as soon as my new window candles come in this week. My electric ones are so old that 1/2 wouldn't work. I ordered some battery operated ones from Amazon. Any exterior lighting tip you'd like to share? You can tour the porch with my link in bio @oursouthernhome 🎄 •
