The Find
It is a story that has been told a few times already on this blog, but since free frames just keep floating into my life, I just keep glamming them up with Rub 'N Buff. Don't you love it?
Here is one of the faux wood frames I found, still wrapped in its original plastic.

The back side had the fake wood grain wrapped all the way around.

The Fix
For this freestyle makeover I did a quick coat of Rub 'n Buff metallic wax on both frames. I left a bit of the original texture/faux wood grain visible. You can see the texture on this close-up picture of the corner.

Conclusion
That's it! Super quick and easy makeover. I found some random little pieces of art, one photograph and one watercolor and they both fit the 5x7 size. Now to decide where to put them...

Happy freestyling!
