I posted this picture yesterday, as part of my living room redo. I explained that the black and white pictures, hiding in the back, were actually hanging on a chain inside of an old picture turned around backwards. Sometimes I like the look of the back of a frame better than the front. It happens a lot with me! I was asked for a close up, and I aim to please, so here you go. There is not much to it really, just a little different I guess.
I have it sort of hiding in between my curtains, behind my sofa at the minute. I think it adds dimension.
Here it is pulled out from the curtains. I just like the tone and look of the back of the wood frame for some reason.
I used a little hook and chain to hang my black and white pictures on the inside of the old frame.
That is my dad, when he was a little boy. Look at all that curly hair! heehee
Here is the picture, facing forward, in the top left corner. It's a beach scene. It used to be hanging in my dining room wall gallery.
I always look at the back of old pictures in thrift stores. Sometime the back can be more interesting than the front. What do you think?
When I saw this I thought you might like the back side because it's a bit rustic looking and it goes inward so can be used as a shadow box. I like the family pics :) I've made a family/art wall too. I have one really cute picture of Jordan's (my husband) grandfather as a baby! He was cute as a button. Isn't it funny how we all like to see our "ancestors" when they were babies?
ReplyDeleteHow cool this is! I guess I didn't quite get it when you mentioned it earlier...now that I see upclose I do. So creative! I love the chain too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to post these pics!
