We have so many framed pictures of us around this house, it’s a little ridic. Seriously. I think I went a little crazy right after we got engaged and framed every engagement picture and then every wedding picture. I stuck a picture frame in every empty nook and cranny of our house.
Well, now I’m a little tired of looking at myself. But I don’t want to get rid of all my picture frames. So I thought I would start by taking one of them and giving it a little update.
I started with this picture frame:
That’s the hubs and I in one of our engagement pictures. Sweet. But it’s feeling a little outdated. Our engagement was so 2008!
I contemplated painting the frame white or gray, but I like the drama of the black {for what I was using it for, anyway}.
As you guys heard, we finally got a Hobby Lobby. So of course I went as soon as the doors opened! While I was there, I found some cute scrapbook paper and a “bling” W {our last initial} sticker.
I cut out a piece of the scrapbook paper to fit my frame, stuck the bling W in the middle and put it back in the frame.
Simple & elegant. Just the way I like it! {And I don’t have to stare at myself anymore!}
And it looks good on our entertainment center shelves in the family room!
That’s about all I have time for these days. Super simple. Super quick.

totally stealing this idea... we've been married for 10 years and although I'm not a fan of pictures of myself I'd like to put something up that shows we're actually legally wed. I LOVE LOVE the initial idea! Thanks! Gonna hit up Hobby Lobby this week with my 40% off coupon in hand!
ReplyDeleteLove the "bling" of the initial. Great idea to frame it :) really lovely overall look.
