Our framed wedding invitation was a gift when Mike and I married in 1995. I wanted to display it again, but its shabby-chic frame no longer matched our rooms. Paint and gold glaze changed the frame while keeping the invitation.
The frame before the change
The original finish had suited our bedroom and guest room years earlier. This close-up shows the frame before I repainted it.
Darker paint, then gold glaze
I used supplies I had at home. First I applied the darker color and let it dry. Then I added gold glaze and sanded the frame after that layer dried.
Back on the bedroom dresser
The new finish gave the invitation a place on our bedroom dresser. I kept the gift and changed the part that no longer suited the room.
I used a different color combination on my Ocean Breeze mirror with copper glaze. That project also kept the original frame and changed its finish.
