Framed Monogram

One of my recent purchases from G.W. (Goodwill) is this picture.

It's gold and

VERY ornate.

It is a lovely picture.

In my home, 

gold is on the way out,

and ornate never made it's way in.

I couldn't pass it up 

because I loved it's size, shape and details.

I took it apart. 

Then went to town with the spray paint.

I also applied a thin glaze

 to tone the color down a bit.

Now I needed something for the center.

I am no artist,  

so I called Cammi over at 

ScribbleItOnline.com

I knew I wanted a monogram, 

but I couldn't find the right design or size I wanted.  

 Cammi designed exactly what I was looking for.

The gold is gone 

and the frame still shows off it's lovely details,

With my paint and her brown vinyl monogram,

 my vision is now reality.

I love it when that happens. 

This worked out so well, 

I'm going to envision a nice clean home.

That vision may take a while to become reality.

I'm linking up to these blogs.  

Stop by and see the wonderful projects.
