My Martha Project

This week's theme at the CSI project is Martha Stewart!

I love me some Martha Stewart crafts.

So I saw this picture and I knew just what to do!


Well it is pretty self explanatory... and that is what I like.


I got my frames.



I got my primer



Then I got my green spray paint.



Then I got my glaze out.


I forgot to take a picture of this process.

But I channeled my inner karate kid and wiped on and wiped off.

I am sure you get the idea.

The frame details really popped with the glaze




I heart that frame.

Now where to put them?...

I thought about the foyer going up the stairs, but decided I didn't have enough frames for it to look good.

So I decided to put them in the guest bedroom.

I always put that room to last. I don't know why.

So here is what the guest room looks like before.





and here it is with my new frames!



I can't wait to see all the Martha inspired projects this week!

Visit thecsiproject.com


I will also posting to these parties.

What a gorgeous wall! I am taking this idea from you and Martha and doing this on my bedroom wall over my dresser. I need something but didn't want just some more art. Thanks for sharing!

That makes the wall so eye-catching!! Great job!

Unknown said...

Wow! That looks awesome! I've been grabbing framed mirrors at GW whenever I see them. We're redoing my daughter's room sometime this summer and I was planning to hang them over her bed. Now I'm thinking I should just use the frames.

liz said...

love it, love it, LOVE it! i want to come sleep there! i may use this idea for the "headboard" in our guest room. we just can't decide what to do with it.

Teresa @ ♥ Too Many Heartbeats ♥ said...

But I channeled my inner karate kid and wiped on and wiped off.

TOO FUNNY!

Those look amazing! You really did an outstanding job. You are really talented. I {{heart}} anything design/decor related. It has truly become a passion of mine over the last few years, especially since I became sick and began spending most of my time confined to my bed/recliner. It helps brighten up my day.

I'm stopping by from SITS. You were above me in roll call and I'm really glad! I wanted to say hello and share some comment lo♥e.

I really love your blog, especially the name! It sounds, oh, so familiar. *sigh* I just became your newest 'Follower' and can't wait to read more of your posts. I enjoy to meeting new bloggers, especially fellow sisters in Christ. I would be really honored if you would take a few minutes to check out my blog and follow me, too, if you like what you see.

Have a really wonderful week!

Blessings,

Teresa <><

That turned out so cute!! I love that bright green! I would love to see another arrangement with the same frames in a less symmetrical arrangement as well. Maybe someday, when you get tired of it this way you could change it up. :) Make sure to post pics if you do!

Painting those frames green was an excellent Idea!! They look so pretty grouped together like you did.

How pretty! I love the green punch of color to match the throw pillows! And it's really nice how your design is almost symmetrical, but not exact. Perfect!

Absolutely stunning! I love that color of green. If you look at my post for the mirror art in my bed room, you'll notice it's surprisingly similar! (although your pictures are way better!)

I have been vowing to do the empty frame thing for months. The guest room! Tah Dah! Genius. That's where they need to go. And I might even need to do a little green. It looks amazing.

Everytime I channel my inner Karate Kid, I end up sweeping someone's leg....and I get disqualified. Boo!

Hattie said...

I love the color green you choose! I think the frames add just the right pop of color and focal point above the headboard. Great job@

Vanessa said...

The results are so sophisticated, you did an amazing job warming up the space and adding some structural elegance with the painted frames. Nice lime green color, too!
