Falling in to the Not Quite Free (NQF) category, this $5 purchase from a thrift store originally caught my eye because of the nice scroll/vine detail around the edge. In the picture below there is no glass in the frame, maybe that is why it was so affordable.

I had recently learned that you can get mirrors cut to size at many hardware stores, so this was my 'make a mirror' experiment. I also spray painted the frame with a few light coats of a bold royal blue in a gloss finish.

The mirror insert makes the frame heavier than if it just had a glass frontpiece. When hanging on the wall I use two small nails through the attached triangular hangers on the back of the frame (with extra measuring to make sure it hangs level).
I think it reflects my style nicely.
Happy freestyling, upcycling, or just plain re-styling!
