I Like Black Frames and I Cannot Lie

I have a frame feddish. I love them. Here is but a sampling of my many, many black frames:

I refinished this little frame in black and created a picture for each month to fit inside.


This one I owe to my mother-in-law, who found it at Swiss Days. Its contents, also, rotate with the seasons.




This montage was last Saturday's project. This look would've cost me a fortune had I bought the framed prints outright, but I recreated them using plain wooden frames that I painted myself and scrapbook paper.

You have such great taste when it comes to decorating. Looks wonderful! I'll have to think about doing something like that.

I am very impressed! Martha Stewart should be asking YOU for ideas! I think that's so genius to have a frame on the wall, with a changing picture for each month! I've always thought you had such great syle, but this blows me away! Thanks for the ideas!!!

I love the patterns you've framed--you say its just scrapbook paper? I would have never thought of that idea! I wish we had a decent craft store nearby, I'd love to paint my own frames! Very cute!!!!

Great idea to use scrapbook paper! I love black frames too! Good idea to paint them...I have lots of frames not black. Guess I need to get a can of black paint at the store. Do you antique any of them?

I'm pretty sure you have to come to my next house and help me decorate. I'm inspired by your creativity! I love black frames too...I just haven't acutally DONE any. Love the scrapbook paper idea. I read in a magazine to line the back of cupboards (esp. glass ones) or shelves with pretty paper like that. It looked very cool. Go you!
