Can you believe this? While debating whether to move this wonderful old chipped wood frame to the dining room from upstairs in the hallway, I took a few minutes to look through a folder of magazine tear sheets. I like to pick a sheet to stick up on the 'frig ~ changing it every month or so to something seasonal, pretty, or of interest to me at that time. There I found this collage sheet and realized the frame was almost exactly the same as mine! Question was, how to mount it in the frame to display?
Attached old wire to the back with a stapler, wrapped it together in front and 'hung' the page over leaving the ends of the wire twisted in front to hold it more securely. The picture displayed can be changed easily at any time for a new look. Works for me ~ what do you think?Update on painting chairs ~ One done, five to go!!!

I think that is very interesting and creative! I like it~Tam :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit of true serendipty...
ReplyDeleteClever girl!
Love the frame and can't wait to see the chairs!
ReplyDeleteI think you have a wonderful creative mind. I really love that!
ReplyDeleteNow, I love that look. How fun to find the clipping that matches perfectly. Great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll have one of those, LOL. A brilliant idea. I also collect interesting and beautiful pictures and then they just lay in a foolder, now I'll know what to do with them. Margaret
ReplyDeleteNice thing about this...you can change it again at a whim. I love this frame. Does the frame now live in the dining room? You have amazing stamina already finishing one chair. As for me...I just sat around and watched a DVD I borrowed from a friend last night of The Holiday. Have you seen it? Now I have to live in Rosehill Cottage. :) Sorry France that I too love but I am off to England...

What I think is spelled SUCCESS! Get moving on those remaining five chairs now ....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous, Mary! Great idea!

I like it just as it is - that way, you can change it out - the only thing I would do is to remove one side of the wire- secure the wire to the other side of the frame and hang the frame with a new wire connected somehow to the top of the frame so it doesn't show through...OR..use a cute clothespin to secure the image on the existing wire!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and great frame
Actually, forget my last post - I love it just the way it is!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI've just been catching up with you. If I lived nearer, I would really "need" to buy the aqua blue dishes for our blue dining room!
I think it's ingenious, Mary! ...but then, look who did it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like no tea at Suzanna's this Saturday.

Mary, what a clever idea! What a coincidence of the frames being so similar.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see the new dining table chairs!
