Do you see anything different?
Here is a before shot. See the change now?
Yes, the frames have changed.
I decided to give these cheap gold frames from Hobby Lobby an antiqued black finish.
This was such an easy and quick project using this Gilders Paste in black. There was no painting at all. I just used the small brush and brushed the paste on each frame. That's it. Best part they were instantly ready to go back on the wall.
I like that no two are alike and the look changes depending on how the light is hitting them or from what position you are looking at them.
Have a super Saturday.

I will be hunting down this gilder's paste! That looks great! How easy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the darker look to the frames, Kim. They really stand out now against the wall.
ReplyDeleteWhen living in San Diego I came across those very same lithographs (literally a book of them) and I held on to them for a long time...never hanging up..and my daughter Ryan took them and framed some beautifully just like yours...
ReplyDeleteLove the frames. It gives more depth and richness to your prints!

Great transformation, Kim! Love the new look.
ReplyDeleteLove the frames! It's amazing how just a little change makes a more dramatic impact! Hope you're having a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis could be JUST what I am looking for. I am NOT liking the brass frame on my BIG crane picture in this new house. Thanks, Kim!!!!
ReplyDeleteMuch much better. The room looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I love a touch of black in every room. Very striking Kim,

Great eye! Have to admit I didn't notice the change. This room is so gorgeous I just take in its beauty.........Sarah
ReplyDeleteKim, the dark color really makes them pop against the wall color. I think you made the right choice there. They turned out fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that paste. They do look great but I'm not observant enough to have picked out the change! Probably because they looked great both ways!
ReplyDeleteI finally did a post last night. Painted the master bedroom and bathroom. Even painted the sink/counter!
I agree. Very pretty!

ReplyDeleteI love botanical prints! The change to the frames looks great. I've never heard of Gilder's paste but I will definitely be checking it out.

ReplyDeleteKim, you have such good taste. The frames look great! I'll be looking into that paint. It's such a simple fix, and I'm sure there's something in my house that could benefit from it!

ReplyDeleteWonderful, Kim! I've never used guilder's paste and will have to experiment with it! Looks, great!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I like the most about your dining room are the color of the chairs and the way they look against the table. Now I also really like the color of the frames against the wall.
