Somebody stop me now!! I just love how everything looks lighter and brighter now that I can't seem to STOP painting things. I walk around the house looking for things I can paint, and I know I 'm not alone on this guys, right! The pictures hanging over my bed were the latest victim's.
Here's how they looked before. Pretty but blended in with the wall color to much.
So I used this in my new favorite color heirloom white.
Here's the after.
They really stand out now. I did just a little distressing on the detailed part of the frame.
Here's a closer look.
I love how they look now!
Couldn't stop there, this is another frame in my room that hangs over the hubby's dresser.
My husbands aunt gave this to us when we were married. It's a marriage blessing from Pope John Paul II.
You can see the original color of the frame where I distressed it. This one I added some mocha glaze to.
Well that's it for now, until I find another victim (LOL)!!

Love them. They do look wonderful all painted white. Really makes them pop against the walls. Great job. Hugs, Marty
Looking good, Martina. Yes, I walk around looking for things to paint, too. So addictive.
It is amazing how much difference a little paint makes! I like them!
You are right, this small change and a new coat of paint(along with a little distressing) really makes a huge difference. Fresh and updated!I'll have to give this a try.

Looking real good Martina. You and Kim are twin homes..seriously they look so similar..Just gorgeous!
It looks great. I really love the distressed part.
That looks great, Martina! It definitely makes them stand out more in the Heirloom White {one of my favorites, too, btw}.
The frames look fabulous ~ wondeful and it makes the prints pop ;-)
Your painting looks wonderful. They really do stand out more!
Martina, those pictures are so pretty now! That was a great idea to paint them white. Thank you for voting for me. I really appreciate it.
Gotta love spray paint... Every time I go to use it Tia makes fun of me and tells me not to spray paint her wheelchair...

Hi Girlfriend...
Ohhh...love the small changes that you made! But you are absolutely right...sometimes the small changes can have a big impact! I love the white mats on your bedroom pictures! They stand out so much more on that wall color now...simply beautiful, my friend! And...I love the added paint and distressing that you added to the other frame...just perfect! Thank you for sharing your pretties with us...love the changes!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
PS...I also took a peek at your last post. Love, love, LOVE your red rooster! I need one of those! Wouldn't it look cute for a table centerpiece vignette with those new gray hen dishes that I just did a post about?
They look so fresh and pretty with the new frames. Lovely job and your bedroom is lovely too. Have a happy Sunday. x sharon
The frames look amazing...I adore spay paint!
Too funny, I am the same way. I am always looking for something to paint since I've already painted all the walls, I've moved on to funiture and picture frames!
I love how you distressed the frames!
I love the new look and the detail around the edges, great job!! I also L O V E that big pillow on your bed, so pretty! XO ~Liz
Martina, your room is SO pretty! I love the new white frames. They definitely pop on the wall now!
And I love the blessing from the Pope. A good friend of mine got married at the Vatican and then got to meet the Pope. Very special!!
Have a great day.

Thanks Martina for joining my newbie party.
I love the effect you've created with the spray and the distressing, I agree - so many things look better painted!! :-)

P.S stopping by from Debbie Doos!
Love it! I am totally addicted to paint (especially spray paint), too! It's taken all the fun out of "Honey, guess what I'm gonna do with this!" when he knows now: "Let me guess, spray paint?" :-)
I'm a new visitor & follower from Debbiedoos Newbie party.

I really like the way those frames stand out on your wall color. I used a similar color in our bedroom. I'm going to look around and see if I can paint some frames because I really like how yours turned out. I'm coming over from Debbie's party and I'm a new follower.

Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do?? Gorgeous!
Hi Martina, love the painted frames...they pop against that great wall color...love that!!...keep on painting, missy!!!...xo, Mariaelena
Thanks for joining the party, Martina.
The white frames definitely pop from the wall. They look amazing with the distressed finish! I love the pillow on the bed.
These frames turned out to be beautiful. I'm afraid to pick up a paintbrush and try it for fear that I will also get addicted. And I already have too much on my plate! (Hmmm, can you paint plates?)
Gotta love spray paint! Nicely done!
Love the colors in your room and I'm gonna steal that window frame idea! Thanks for sharing.
I love this Martina!! I want to do this now to my wedding photo frames! They are black and gold and I hate it! This is such a great transformation and the prints really stand out!!
Great new look. The frames look lovely against your wall color. What is the name of your wall color? Distressing is almost always a plus, at least to me! I'm already following you, so if you aren't following back, please do.

Yep, there it is heirloom white. I go through cases of it since i have a booth and use tons. I also took the cap and had them mix me a quart so I could use it on big projects. I usually do a top coat of spray though or use the spray and the paint if something has scroll legs, I will do the legs in spray and then roll on the matching paint...I think this comes under To much information LOL!

Hi Cas the wall color is Algonquin Trail by Ben. Moore.
