As an Amazon employee, I earn commission from purchases.

One thing I have learned over the past few years is that it is so easy to change the look of a picture frame, simply by painting the frame itself! Whether it’s an old gold/brassy frame, a tarnished silver frame, or just a frame that doesn’t match a room anymore, simple acrylic paint and a paintbrush will completely change the look!

I recently bought some 11×14 frames from Amazon. I got them in the pinkish marble color- I figured that if I didn’t like the color, I’d paint them.

The pinkish marble, in person, was like an off-white, light tan, which didn’t go with the room I wanted them to be in.

So, I pulled out the gray acrylic paint and got to painting! It took 2 coats of paint to have a solid look.

I also ordered some floral prints on Amazon. The cool thing was that they’re actually canvas material, not paper… so they looked even nicer when framed.

Check the frames out now!

So, for about $30, I have three personalized frames above our guest bed! Not too shabby! Plus, I have two extra frames and one extra print to use somewhere else.
