frameology

My dad and I have always loved working on projects together..so this was another one of our projects we teamed up on.  It is our dad/daughter time I love.  

Dad and I in Zurich, Switzerland | 2009

My sweet friend, Ashley Lieb (http://www.lilykatedesigns.com/), started making and selling frames similar to this last year.  They sell these at places like Three Sheets for a lot more than they cost to make them.  She inspired to build and design my own frames. Also, this way I could make them as custom as I wanted them.

After drawing out the plans for the frames, we made a big trip to Home Depot to buy everything.  

Items Needed:

1X6 Wood

Wood Trim

Picture Hanging Kit

Corner Fasteners

Angled Screws (to join the frames)

Hand Saw (miter box & back saw)

Wood Glue (frame corners and trim)

Paint for base

Paint for top coat

Paint Brush

Sand Paper

With the help of my dad's handy tools, we began constructing each frame....

Here is our final product after I painted and antiqued each one:
