Hi everyone! Today I’m going to show you a pair of pictures I am in love with. They came out from the idea / need of 1. Recycle two old pictures my mother in law had in her house and 2. Fill in a gap on my bedroom wall.
These were the before pictures
I imagine that when she bought them they were like wow, but I was just interested in them because of the frames. Then I left them on the don’t-thow-it-honey-I-will-make-something-with-it cabinet for some time because I had no clue what to do with them yet until we finished our master bedroom redo. There was a gap in the wall between the picture I did for my husband and my jewelry holder, and the pictures were going to fit perfectly. By the way, I’ll try to show you my bedroom soon.
Well, back to the pictures, the first thing was to clean and paint them with homemade chalk paint, and when they dried I dry brushed a bit of gray to add some color, and some wax to finish.
I searched through all my images something that could fit, but I found nothing I really liked. Then I thought I could make myself something romantic, maybe some quotes with nice letters and details, and I ended up with these two prints.
As the frames were bigger than the prints, I added some beige cardstock behind them which coordinates with the colors I have in my bedroom.
The last thing to do was to hang them between the big frame I did for my husband on his birthday and my jewelry holder.
If you like the prints you only need to click on the pictures below
I hope you like the new pictures as much as I do!
Remember that if you want to see more projects you can see them here.
Hugs,
Pili

Wow, really nice makeover. I’m renewing my frames as well – it must be that time of year. I love your jewelry display!
Yes, I know what you mean. Maybe we feel summer is almost over and sense we have to arrange our nest for spending more time inside home.
So beautiful & I totally agree 🙂
Thanks Khadija! Love to see you here!
These are lovely! Beautiful make-over for them. 🙂 Found you via Wordless Wednesday at OMHG.
Thank you so much Sarah! They were asking for a change
I really love what you have done with these pictures. They look fab, so different from how they started.
Over from Funtastic Friday 🙂

Hi Cathy, thank you so much for your kind comments. I’ve shared it at your link party, love it!
So, so cute, and I love the quotes! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Talented Tuesdays!
Many thanks for your sweet comments! Love to be part of the party!
Very cute upcycle and perfect for the bedroom! #FridayFunday <3
New life for a new bedroom!
This is so pretty. I love getting frames that no one wants and making them pretty again. Good job on this!
Yes, sometimes people get rid of frames because they look old or ugly, but they can be pretty again.
Beautiful job! No need to buy new when things just need a little freshening up! Thank you so much for linking up at Your Inspired Design. We hope you stop by again tomorrow!
Thank you so much! I’ll be there tomorrow again!
I’m so amazed by you! This looks so good! Pinned and tweeted. I appreciate you taking the time to party with us. I hope to see you on Monday at 7. Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
Hi Kim, thank you so much!! And thanks for the welcome, I will be at the party tomorrow as I’m in Spain and we have different times… they’re getting me crazy!

Pili, I love these pictures you made! They look great between the big picture and the jewelry display. Very sweet.
Thank you so much, Keri. Now I need to find a place for them at the new house
Beautiful, love the classic, classy look. Brilliant idea to add cardstock, to make them fit inside the frame <3
Many thanks, Michelle. Adding the cardstock was a lazy solution but it ended up looking pretty.
Wow there are so beautiful and romantic! Great job!
Thank you so much, Katerina! So glad you like them too!
