So, 5 frames for $5, and one was $3…I’d say I did pretty good, huh?  As you can see they were an assortment of colors, so I picked up some Krylon Fusion spray paint in white.  This is pretty important.  If you have even a glimmer of doubt that your frames are 100% wood, this paint will save you from lots of dripping and bubbling.  In my case, I knew I that Mr. $3 was solid wood,  but I also had 2 metal ones and 2 plastic ones.  So the Fusion spray paint covered all of my bases.  It’s a little more (like $4.50), but completely worth doing the job right.

On the left side of the window you may recognize:

1.  That recovered mirror from our bedroom. I really felt like it would fit better in Greta’s room.  Those mirrors have been in our room since we got married, and before that they were in my bedroom when I was single.  I was overdue for a change and now we are dreaming up some art for above our bed.

2.  The silhouette below the mirror from this project.

3.  The painting of the mama deer I did before Greta was born.

4.  The adorable fabric I finally found a use for!  I used the $3 frame from DI to show off the cutesy fabric-turned-art.

On the right side of the wall, you may recognize:

1.  Another one of the mirrors from our bedroom.

2.  The baby deer painting I did before Greta was born.

3.  The graphic Gs typography project.

I also hung:

4.  The three ultrasounds we got when I was preggers.

5.  A colored pencil drawing I did when I was a junior in high school.

Overall, I am uber-pleased with all of the color that it added to her room, not to mention interest.  I also like how every thing hung is something I created.  Maybe one day Greta will even appreciate that.
