I picked up this frame from our local ReStore. After it sat on my mantel for about three weeks I finally came up with a plan….
The plan the plan, what is the plan….???
The plan was as it almost alway is…… to paint the frame blue….
Blue being the most perfect color… JK…. But really it is my fav!!
I have this connection with blue that cannot be denied…. even if I try…
Now for the fun distressing part…..!
Grab a piece of sand paper, I think I used 150 grit, and start sanding the areas of the frame where you want the white to show through. Keep in mind, if you sand a lot on one spot you will sand all the colors!
To see how I made the barn wood inside the frame head on over to Princess Pinky Girl to see my tutorial there.
As always thanks for stopping by and we would love to have you follow along with us!!
Hawthorne & Main is all about finding your style for your space! It should be a reflection of you! 
I love it! Love that color of paint!
Thanks Beth!
Oh! This is sooo pretty!! I love the color too 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bobbi! I am a total sucker for this color. Well actually I am a sucker for any color of blue. I have to watch myself sometimes, otherwise my whole house will be different shades of blue.
This is great! I love the blue paint.
Thanks for sharing at the Teach Me Tuesday Linky Party. I hope you're able to join us again tonight starting @ 9pm est!
Adrian thanks! Blue is my favorite color and this blue is awesome. Just got done linking up over at Teach Me Tuesday earlier this evening!
Shonee, this is great and just what I'm looking for! Can you give a tutorial on the boards that you put in the frame? What size did you use? Finish / stain?
I'd love for you to link up at the Thank Goodness It's Thursday party at Ruffles and Rain Boots! Hope to see you there (and to see how you did the boards, too). I'm your newest follower.
Sarah thanks! I will be sharing a tutorial on the boards along with how I made the boards look like they are old. Thanks for following along! I will definitely come link up over at Ruffles and Rain Boots!
Shonee–awesome transformation! I am a sucker for anything with that shade of blue! Haha I love it!
Me too! Blue in general gets me every time. I always have to keep myself in check when I do projects, otherwise they would all be different shades of blue.
Beautiful! I love Provence, and you did a great job of using the blue to highlight the details of the frame. Looking forward to the tutorial on the wood pieces! 🙂
Thanks Kimm. That Provence really is a pretty color. Be on the lookout for the barn wood pieces tutorial.
What a beautiful frame! I want to try this now. Thanks for sharing at On Display Thursday.
