Creative Picture Frames

September 17, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 4 Comments

Picture frames are a great way to add pops of color without committing to a large expensive piece. I used three chunky frames in my new office/craft room to house quotes that I love. 
I started with these thrift store frames…
and with a few coats of Valspar gloss spray paint in Exotic Sea, a little vinyl, cork, and creativity ended up with these fun additions to my craft space.

I love this reminder to simply Make Something Today. That’s really what this space is all about. Creating something whatever it may be.

Quote inspiration
I think as women we sometimes have a hard time saying “NO.” This quote reminds me to fill my time with things that better my life and clear it of what may be good, but is just cluttering my life from what is best. It reads, “respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.”
Quote inspiration
This last one is my favorite of the creative picture frames in my space. I simply inserted a piece of cork and added a printed quote with a push pin. I love the dimension and texture it adds to the space. The quote says, “Be you. Be true. Love what you do.”

What do you think? Have you used creative picture frames to update or add color to a space?

DIY Under $5 on Summer Break

May 22, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 5 Comments

Hey guys, I have an important announcement. With my husband working and getting his Master’s and no more preschool for the summer I am cutting back to have more time with my family. This is going to be the last DIY Under $5 Party for the next few months. I am going to leave it open so please continue to link up over the summer like you normally would and I will be popping and pinning my favorites as we go along, but there will not be a new party every week. 


Now on with last week’s features and the summer party…

Sunburst Mirror from Decorating Cents
Love the dark stain on the paint sticks!
One cloth five ways from Creative Chaos
I so want one of these super cute and easy wraps!
Pop Tab Tine Can Treats from Practically Functional
I want to do this for Father’s Day!
Pop tab tin cans filled with candy for Mother's Day
Antiqued Clothespin Art from Burton Avenue
She must have the cutest laundry room ever!! Did I mention I have a slight obsession with laundry themed things?
Business Card Holder from Artsy Fartsy Mama
Perfect for all those upcoming blog conferences or heck make it a little wider for your debit and loyalty cards.

I enjoy your $5 projects so much that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!


Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. 
  • No linking giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured! I will not feature those who do not link back.
