DIY Project. Upcycle Your Old Frame Into Trendy Bookshelf.

I had this project in my mind for a few months but I couldn’t find good frame anywhere. I was visiting my local second-hand store almost every day… I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a new frame so used one was the best option for me. And one day I found what I was looking for 😊
Time: 24 Hours Cost: $100 Difficulty: Medium

Step 1 - Gold color was wonderful but didn’t match my space so I decided to change it to silver. I put two coats of Annie Sloan Graphite chalk paint.

Step 2 – I put silver Pebeo gilding wax on my frame. I start with a little amount of it as it is very efficient.
