What I Did With What I Thrifted: Coby Christmas Frame


I had a lot of fun getting creative with this guy! The design is pretty simple, which is what I wanted. The finish is acturally layered. First I stained, then I waxed, then I painted, then I distressed. Heavily. Perfection!

I went with a fairly traditional approach with the ornaments; vintage glass Coby Balls are on display. The best part is once Christmas is over, I can still leave the frame up, and swap out the ornaments for something a little more "winter-y" and a little less "Christmas-y"!

Terry came home and asked where I bought our new front door decor. I was all too happy to tell him I made it - frame and all! Maybe now he'll think twice before scrapping our scraps!
