Now back to our regularly scheduled program...
Oh yeah, I've been framed! No, no, I've not been arrested! I'm talkin' photo framed! But not just any old store-bought frame! Oh no! These are made from reclaimeded lumber!!
Many of you will remember this pile of lumber we've accumulated...
You may also remember I've a very handy hubby (the same one my Mema said was a 'keeper'...haha)
You may read about one of his reclaimed wood projects here...
I needed a gift for a very special friend...and I did not want to show up to the party with the very same dress on...y'all know what I'm talkin' about...the very same gift as someone else brings to the table ...bought at the local gift shop...with the identical wrapping and card attached...I wanted the unique!!!
Well hubby worked his magic once again...
The old lumber went into the shop in bits and pieces and out came the perfect gift for my friend...
After adding burlap ribbon and some bling...
My only problem???? Which one goes to my friend!!
Y'all may notice the chalkboard banner...yep, still lovin' that chalkboard paint...
Showcasing the reclaimed photo frames... with the perfect backdrop!!
This is the only way to be framed!! LOL
See ya down the junkin' road!!

ReplyDeleteMy mother was really into barn wood frames at one time. She has photos of my brother and me as babies framed on her bedroom walls. (And let me tell you, it's been a really looooong time since we were babies!)
ReplyDeleteYours look great!
The frames you hubby made are fabulous. Love the burlap and bling you added. I love giving and getting gifts no one else will have!

Oh, I am listening to another day of dangerous weather, it goes from bad to worse!! Now, being framed I love it! I just heard about burlap ribbon, I have got to find some, and the location, oh, perfect!!!

ReplyDeleteIf you ever have occasion to give me a gift, I'll take one of those wonderful frames! The one and only tornado that came through my area hit my house and I'm terrified of the things. Keep your head low! ~ Maureen
