I first saw this done by Courtney.
What a fabulous idea, I thought.
I then saw Erin had taken notice too.
Last Monday, I got started on a few projects I had been wanting to try, but putting off.
On Tuesday, I checked out Carmel's blog and it looks like great minds thing alike!
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
I have been eyeing these frames in our master bedroom for a while.
My husband has learned over the years, if I eye something for too long,
it will be removed, changed, replaced, improved, etc. You get the idea, right?
Here's how I started. I measured out two inches in each corner and added some painter's tape.
Next, I broke out my go to paint, Rub N' Buff, and added it to the corners.
I am loving the new look. How about you?
It makes the cheap K-Mart frames I have had for years look a little more elegant.
Have you Rub N' Buffed anything lately? By the way, I'm still using the tiny tube I bought last year and have used on this project, this project, and this project. A little goes a long way.

ReplyDeletelooks great! I'll have to remember this project =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference the R&B makes! They look great, Andrea! I think I need to have a Rub & Buff party one of these days and round up all the awesome uses for it!
ReplyDeleteI've loved seeing all these makeovers and yours is no exception. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe refurbished frames look amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI've read about that product on your blog and am itching to try it. We just moved into a new house and all of my things that were packed up in storage are crying out for a little pick me up! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, they look great!! I just took down a grouping of black frames because I was tired of the look, but now they are going back up after I rub n' buff them with the gold. I have gone through a couple of tubes already, just because I did a huge mirror and several frames.
ReplyDeletewhat a huge impact that little project has. i might jump onto this bandwagon. and a little rub n' buff does go a long way. love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove the new detail! It adds a great layer of dimension.

ACK! Love them! Great minds is right! ;) That little tube goes so far doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for using AMACO's Rub 'n Buff! Your frames look awesome. I'd love to post this on our RNB Facebook page if you're ok with that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea! The gold corners really add polish and sophistication. I have frames JUST like those and I've been thinking about getting rid of them. But not anymore - I'm super inspired to trim them out in gold.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love Love LOVE!!!! Could not be prettier!!! Thanks for the shout out too :)
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I have not rubbed and buffed anything lately. But I may have too those frames look great.
