For the love of Frames

I love frames. I cannot resist a pretty frame and I love to transform them. All the frames in my house get the same transformation and even though I claim to not like things too matchy matchy, I do love that they all coordinate so well.


I love this look of hanging several different sizes of frames together. The outside frame with the roses is my favorite of all time.

I decided to hang my favorite Halloween picture for awhile. This was 2000, and Janae was Cruella Deville...she didn't want to be Cruella because Cruella is mean. :) All the puppies are her siblings--both her Snyder and Brown siblings. I think it is the cutest halloween ever!


This is my little sitting area where these frames hang..and yes, I have big plans for that lampshade... I have been procrastinating about that one for about a year now!


You may recognise my favorite frame from my Niece's wedding...


Another friend of mine asked to borrow it to take photos of her daughter and her horse. I hope she does..that would make awesome pictures!

I like frames just sitting on the mantle and looking pretty!



One of my favorite walls in the house is above the livingroom couch.


If you want to see how I transform them you can find that post here.


Well, I have been thinking about decorating for Fall--ugh, not my favorite season. I am loving seeing all the beautiful white fabric pumpkins I am seeing in blogland though!

Thanks for visiting!

Hi Sandy,
I showed your Halloween picture to my daughter, and she thought it was so cute.
Your framing idea is so creative and like you I have a big thing for frames, layering, stacking and hanging :)

Love all you have inspired over here, your whites mixed with the rich tone of darker pieces gives your room interest, I too mix the darker tones with as much pale as I can create :)

Have a beautiful fall, looking forward to all the holiday decor you will be posting.

Xx

Well, let me just say, you do a frame justice, that's for sure! I love the 3 frames inside each other. I've never seen that done, and what a great idea!
