Have you ever wanted to paint a frame but the picture was permanently mounted to it? Sometimes I’ll find a great picture or sign at a garage sale or thrift shop, but the frame does not match anything in my house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very easy to paint a picture frame without removing the picture. However, I always recommend removing the picture (and glass) if possible. It guarantees your picture will not be damaged in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my project, I had a large sign that was given to me a few years ago. I loved it, but the cherrywood frame didn’t really go with the rest of my house. One day, while working on another project I realized I could update the frame in an afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project I used spray paint, because I LOVE spray paint. Years ago I had a friend who painted everything with spray paint. We lived overseas and it was the only kind of paint we had available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d never seen anyone spray paint a dresser or coffee table before<\/a>. However my friend spray painted just about every piece of furniture in her home. It looked amazing and I was hooked on using spray paint whenever possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started using spray paint, you could only get the standard colors, but today, you can basically get any color or finish. This makes painting things like knobs and fixtures super simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to use a chalk finish spray paint. You can pick up a can at Home Depot, Lowes, or order from Amazon. <\/a> Personally, I don’t have a favorite brand of chalky finish spray paint, they all seem to be equal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
