Welcome to the make-over open house!


Welcome! Link up and show us your make-overs! The only rules are you have to link back to this specific post so people can find it easily (if you are using an old post, please amend it), and put in your specific link to your make-over post, not your blog.
My make-over this month is of an old picture I had laying around. Tres chic in the '90s. Non?
I painted the frame black and used double stick tape to put the book pages inside the matting that was already there.

I just then used more double stick tape to put the bird picture on top! Easy-peasy!

  1. YAY, I'm the first one! Ok, that was kinda lame, but I'm totally new to this blogging thing and I'm just figuring some of this out. But, after I hit enter, I realized that I linked to my blog, not just my makeover post. Now I don't know how to delete it and do it again, aaahhhh.
    But I love your blog. You have the best ideas! I've been a stalker, so to speak, for several weeks now. I just love how you can turn anything into something totally different. I used to just sell or trash things I didn't want anymore. Now I try to see if I can re-purpose it!
    Thanks for the ideas!

  3. I remade some plates that used to hang in my kitchen at my old house. Now that we've moved I didn't like them so instead of trashing them or sending them off to Goodwill, I made them over. Take a look!

  9. That is amazing. I have at least one picture like that (pre-raphaelite type artwork) in storage that is screaming for a makeover. Thanks for the great idea and the fab how-to!

  13. Very nice makeover! While I love John William Waterhouse's paintings, your new bird picture is much prettier. The frame looks perfect in black.

  20. I did a couple similar things this weekend...but used vintage art and an old postcard. I missed getting a photo of the art (it's already in my antique booth) but I still have the framed postcard. I'll see if I can get a quick pic! Your makeup turned out "just right." Love the paper idea in the back.
