Architectural Treasure
My latest treasure was this gray metal frame with a white stone, embossed with a very Frenchy design.
I actually passed it up this $3.00 treasure because it wasn't the exact thing I was looking for. I wanted something wider and scrolled to cover my cool air return. After I woke up thinking about it, I hustled myself back to the thrift store. I decided if it didn't work, I could certainly use it elsewhere, propped up on my mantle maybe.
I've been meaning to get my cool air return grate painted since we moved in, but the bucket of paint left by the contractor got taken out to the shed and other fun things got in the way. I decided to take care of it today.
I'm always stunned that I lived with something so long.
We've been here several months.
We've been here several months.
Finished :-)
I'm still on the hunt for the perfect piece to hide it entirely, but this will do for now!
The fun thing was discovering this in the bucket of paint left by the contractor:
A metal grate of some sort to squeeze the paint out of a roller.
Now...What can I do with this???
