DIY Framing a picture in a frame too big and wall paint fun!


I just won this picture from http://cieloazuljewelry.blogspot.com/
I SO love it...
I buy frames when in clearance or at the thrift store... I had frames but, they were too small or too big....SO, here is my secret to make a picture look amazing...With a frame too big.


The frame and mat do not fit too big...
I took my picture to the craft store. Chose 2 sheets of paper that i thought would match my interior and look good with the picture...


See the connection, i had to cut that and make it connect...



Here with the painters tape.....to show you that i connect it...It won't show...no worry...


I taped it on the mat first...


Double side tape on picture...I placed it on top..


Closed it in frame...


PERFECT and so pretty!


Here some fun with wall paint color....to show you how the color on the walls can make a picture look so good!
I love white walls also....but i only place white on the wall if there is a design behind it...like shabby chic...


Red walls...........Valspar, Crimson in Satin finish.


Brown walls..........Valspar, Chestnut in Satin finish.


Sun flower walls...Olympic, Oakcast in Satin finish.



Green walls.....Valspar, Belle grove moss in Satin finish.


The brown in my kitchen....Olympic, Oyster Shell in Satin finish.


I chose my dining room....




Beautiful pictures and cards are available  HERE
Great jewelry also!
She has a give away going on now!

Thank you  Carol at

I think a wall arrangement of Cielo paintings would look amazing...Hmmmmm
