I know, it is not Monday, but my man-craft is still in effect. My husband's office is about as bare as an office can be. There is absolutely nothing in there that is personal or even semi-decorative. He told me I was more than welcome to give him a picture to put in there. So I found one of my frames that has been previously painted and asked him what color or pattern he would like. Here is the before, with a touch of a second paint layer on it.
This frame has been through the ringer. It started off as a dollar store plastic frame that I paid one dollar for, obviously. It was then painted white for our wedding reception. Now my husband requested a wooden frame for his office. Really? I mean, this thing was never wooden and it also has a layer of hideous paint on it. But I took this as a challenge. I got my army together: acrylic paint and Mod Podge. I took this frame in one single battle and it cried uncle. Here is the new man frame that is "office worthy" now with a picture from our honeymoon that took place only this summer.

Seriously? That totally looks like wood! Yowza! Nice work.
I adore handmade things, and the people who make em!
The frame looks really good. How did you get it to look like wood? Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Nice work! ALTHOUGH, I bet your hubby would have preferred a pic of you in his office rather than one that showcases his own shiny-topped head.... :-)
Sincerely,
An Old Friend. :P
It was the first picture I grabbed but I still like it. It's at least a start for his bare bones desk.
Woodgrain paper! I would like to say I can paint that well but that is a bold faced lie!
