Another thrift store before and after!
This is a framed canvas print of the 1880 John George Brown painting "The Cider Mill". I bought it at Goodwill for $5. It is hard to tell from the photo, but it is a distressed canvas print not a poster. Here is an example of one with no frame: Canvas no frame. I painted over the stenciled apples on the frame, with... you guessed it, black paint.
I don't know if it looks best above the bed in our guest room. I may have to find a better place for it, but until then that's where it'll be!

Each week I look forward to your Frugal Friday's. You always come up with the neatest things! Great job!
Oh, my gosh, that is stunning against the wood wall! What a sweet picture. And you've upped it a notch with the black paint. The apple border might have been cute back in the 80s, but the black framing is so much more elegant--a nice modern touch to a sweet, old-fashioned picture!
Nothing like making a treasure from someone else's trash!! Great eye!!
That turned out well! I was scouring several Goodwills today in search of items to decorate a little girls' tea table for a tea party our church is having. Found a few treasures, but will keep looking for more.
Cute updo! A little paint can do wonders!
