knock off decor, copycat decor
I absolutely love this upcycled frame project from Wendy at Craft Jr! When Wendy saw a $200 card holder from Pottery Barn, she knew it was something her kids could make for a fraction of the price using an old frame. Filled with family photos, special mementos, and, of course, a heartfelt note, this would make a lovely gift that mom would treasure for years to come!
Lauren from The Endearing Home almost purchased a beautiful antique silver frame from West Elm. Almost… before she realized she had several old frames in her garage that could easily be refabbed. Lauren applied Rub ‘n Buff to one of the frames for an aged silver finish and also created a linen matting using an old curtain panel. I am loving how Lauren totally nailed the look with items she already had! Yay for not one but TWO great upcycles!
For Rebecca from Cre8tive Compass Magazine this lovely Thanksgiving blessing chalkboard came together like clockwork. Rebecca first scored a large frame at a thrift store and then found a creative way to replicate the beautifully detailed trim of her Pottery Barn inspiration. What a wonderful way to reflect on and display all God’s blessings!
