Frames |
So a few posts back I talked about molding. I love me some molding. I board and battened(?) my front hallway and absolutely love it. It has lightened and brightened my entry and makes me happy and lighthearted as I enter and exit! But, it's not enough. I have UGLY doors throughout my house. The typical cheapo hollow doors builder's used back in the 60's. Stained dark brown and hollow-ping ding -hate them. So, I went to the depot to buy more molding-the picture frame type, little and delicate. I want doors that look like they have substance instead of pingy-dingy! I measured and cut with the big ole' saw in the basement but no matter what I did, no two corners matched up.I really think the saw was too powerful for this molding but I kept trying but to no avail. I was sooo disappointed. What was I gonna do? I looked around my house and started looking at frames. All the frame corners met perfectly. So I collected a bunch, took them outside, and spray painted them until my finger was so pinched it was stuck! But, guess what? I got some perfect looking picture framed box molding and I gorilla glued it to those UGLY doors. I painted the molding and the door and I love them!!!!! I felt like the Sandra Lee of home decor!! If you can't make it from scratch-improvise!! Take care-Gotta fly! Claire
