DIY Photo Frame

Why buy it when you can make it yourself. This project gave me a great excuse to go to an estate sale to find the frame, which I picked up for $40. The best part... the frame was made in 1830. It's super solid and breathes new life into my foyer.

Making molds

Love the vintage feel of this piece. The silver pieces are replicas of pearl buttons that I made molds of.
