You can find pictures of the whole process and a material list below. Here’s what I came up with:

Upcycled Victorian frame step-by-step process

  1. Remove the back side of each picture frame
  2. Mix up some light beige paint. This is aprox. 10 parts white to 1 part yellow. You can also try light blue, pink, or whatever tone you love!
  3. Cover each frame with at least 5 coats of paint. Since we’re doing almost white tones over dark surfaces, this might take a while. I included a picture of my frame right after the first coat of paint just so you get an idea of how ugly it still looked.
  4. Protect each frame with matte clear spray.
  5. Enjoy going from old to bold :)

My mom absolutely loved her mini bedside table makeover. Yours will too.
