Trash 2 Treasure Tuesday!

It's Trash 2 Treasure Tuesday with Kimm over at Reinvented! This week is a transformation of something I picked up at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago. It was an item I didn't take a picture of on thriftstore Thursday because I had already begun the project. I got this idea from Joy over at Joys of Home. Link directly to the project HERE. Inside my thrift store frame is a piece of burlap on which I painted an M for our last name and used the same leaf design that Joy did. Just printed off on my printer! :)

So here is the completed project. Like I said I missed taking a before picture but the frame was a gaudy gold.

Here is where I put it in my living room. The space was empty and I didn't want something square because of the two square pictures already there so thought this would be perfect

Joy used a light box to do hers. I didn't have a light box so I jerry riged one :) Here is what I did:

Two dining room chairs
A piece of glass spanning them (from an unused picture frame)
A table lamp that fit underneath with no shade

Here is a picture of the lamp underneath

It turned out perfect! The frame wasn't EXACTLY what I was looking for as I wanted something with more details like Joys had but I could not find an oval frame ANYWHERE! It is amazing! I even went to frame shops! Micheals used to carry some gorgeous ones but when I went there to get one they no longer carried them! But I think it still turned out great!
