Beach Cottage {Faux} Picture Frame
To begin the Entryway Gallery Wall of frames, I chose this color palate of latex house paints:
Sadly, if you want specific color names, I can’t give them to you. Other than Panther, the other colors are all mistints.
For my very first signs done with Ashley’s technique, I decided to start easy peasy.
This project couldn’t be simpler. I used the same technique I described yesterday, using white as the base coat. When the top coat colors were almost dry, I wiped off some of the paint. Once stained, those areas became the parts that give it the worn and weathered look I love so much.
If you want to make your {faux} frames with permanent pictures, you could probably use Modge Podge to do that. But, I want the option to switch out the pictures when I want…
So, I stuck them on with scotch tape.
{See, I told you it was really simple!!}

Sooo pretty! Love the shades you used too. I went back to read the tutorial as I’m a bit behind in my bloglovin’ feed 🙂 Hoping to try this technique myself soon!
