I confess I love painting! I love taking an object and seeing what I come up with. Here are a few things I have painted for my girls' rooms. (The frames can be found at Jo Ann Fabric. They are scrapbook size.)
Okay I know... I really NEED to get pictures in them! I am not even going to tell you just how long they have sat empty.
This was also in the clearance section and formerly matched the book ends.
From this... to these...
So keep your eye out! Something inexpensive slathered with a bit of paint, can turn into exactly what you desire!
