A Salvaged Frame

I found this frame at my favorite salvage store last week.

I liked the chunky size but not the veneer.

I thought the back side had some potential. It is real wood and pretty rough.

So I cleaned it up a bit.

Then I cut some chicken wire down to size and stapled it to the front side of the frame.

Now to get ready for the spray paint...

I want the paint to be all chippy so I am using the "vaseline technique".

(I used up all my vaseline but this is a similar "goop")

Spray paint it a flat white. Let it dry completely before scraping.

Using a spackle knife - scrape the 'goop' off and also other areas that I want the wood to show.

Where the "goop" was it looks like the paint was really chipped off.

I can think of so many ways to use this....

For today...this is where it will go.
