We love Frames of all types.

We love frames of all types.

Tiny ones, inset with small stones, oversized baroque ones, rickety wooden ones -- frames can show off a photo, a print or a piece of art...or they can do so much more. Here are some ideas

•Frame a piece of cork
•A mirror
•Or a piece of wood coated in chalkboard paint (or have masonite cute to size) to make a blackboard
•Slip a piece of wallpaper behind a piece of glass, remove the hanging mechanism and use your frame as a tray. Works especially well with an ornate or deep frame (a framed mirror can do double duty as a tray or leaning against a wall as a looking glass)
•Hang a piece of art on the wall, then hang a frame separately, deliberately letting the wall space between frame and art peek through. Works best on a brightly coloured wall.
•Boring medicine chest? Find a frame to match the size of your mirror and glue it on. Or forgo the mirror all together.
•Spray paint a collection of frames the same colour, then hang them on your wall empty, letting the frames be the art.
•Make a French ribbon board or a mat board with pockets to organize your receipts and small papers.
•A large frame can double as a headboard -- empty or framing a piece of fabric
