Gold Accented Picture Frame with DecoArt // I have fallen in LOVE with gold accents! They seem to be all the rage right now, and I am totally jumping on the trend bandwagon. Yesterday I had the opportunity to take DecoArt’s Dazzling Metallics for a test drive while I dressed-up an old picture frame…
I had this old frame from Target that I had spray painted blue (another new fav) but it needed a little extra love. Recently I had added some gold accents to an old wood bowl and thought it would be fun to dress-up the frame the same way. The lovely part of this project is that it was soooo easy! You know me, nothing too challenging here. I chose DecoArts Dazzling Metallics Champagne Gold for my paint and set to work…
The frame has flower like petal grooves that were carved out and would act as a perfect natural place for a gold petal accent. Carefully, I filled in the grooves with the metallic paint…
That’s all there was to it. I filled in all the grooves and let it dry and then added a second coat. After a few hours of drying time, my new frame was ready for display!
I added one of my favorite Instagram photos of my sweet Emily and her friend and put it on display with my gold accented bowl. They make a perfect pair!
Do you have anything laying around the house that could use a little gold pick me up? You’ll be surprised how much it can add to a room! And if you happen to have real gold items — maybe old jewelry or décor pieces — and you’re curious how much your gold is worth, you can use this scrap gold calculator to estimate its value before upcycling or repurposing it! Check out DecoArts full line of Dazzling Metallics for all kinds of inspiration.
