A good save...

This is a small project but one I feel good about. My husband inherited many prints and pieces of art that his father had collected over his lifetime. I liked these prints but the frames had certainly seen better days. My husband agreed that I could do something with the frames so that we could display the art. So, once again, that trusty black spray paint comes to the rescue! Sometimes black spray paint is not just for crafty projects, it also works with fine art. (I will keep working on the photography. I have an SLR camera on my list for Christmas.)  I am linking to Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday.
