the painted white picture frames......
and proudly hanging in the hall on the landing to the spare room!!!!
These were the frames back in April of this year, waiting patiently for a little restoration, small repair and a new lease of life . Having bought two of them in France at a brocante and the other two from a souk in Marrakech, I had plans for new glass, paint and some thing to put in them.
(above) These are the frames laid out on newspaper on the dining room table. Matt white paint was used, the same as on the walls. I felt this was important, so that the frames 'melt into the walls' making the image more prominent. The detail on the frames won't be missed by being in white.
What to put in the frames? - well that was easy. My children have hinted that we don't have any photos of them around the house, so the wall in the hall will become a gallery of photos of them over the years. We will need to buy (or find) some more old frames to complete the whole wall but excited to follow it's progress.
