Because I wanted to make sure our family room felt personal I wanted to add in lots of family photos. I put the chevron frames (I will probably eventually change those out for something a little bit nicer) above the sofa and then wanted to add some photos of Lillie and Lola on either side of the TV. I hunted through our stash of frames and couldn't find anything that worked so I decided to use some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from Karla who owns <a href="http://www.ladybutterbug.com/">Lady Butterbug</a> to transform a couple of frames into something that would look better. I had two black ones that I liked the size of so decided to work with those.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1R9gD9-vvol-FdBMXd8OMYwcrCKgra_eoU5KBRw4yEnQOu55TkhvjVRmbZ-2d4L3uR_zNUDv5icHzs9NpZdHSTpC74JaWD01kYRV4GW4bVaxS34O7kJPZ9Zgz2lutv7LOi0Z1NUd5UVo/s1600/uphoto-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1R9gD9-vvol-FdBMXd8OMYwcrCKgra_eoU5KBRw4yEnQOu55TkhvjVRmbZ-2d4L3uR_zNUDv5icHzs9NpZdHSTpC74JaWD01kYRV4GW4bVaxS34O7kJPZ9Zgz2lutv7LOi0Z1NUd5UVo/s640/uphoto-5.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />The first thing I did was paint the frame in <a href="http://www.ladybutterbug.com/shop#!__shop/chalk-paint/vstc4=colors-4">Paris Grey</a>.

She is so wonderful about answering any questions you may have and even offers workshops.<br /><br />And don't worry - I know you are probably sick of seeing the family room. Next week along with showing you the chandelier makeover in the dining room, I will be showing you Lillie and Lola's room and our kitchen island. And then after that the full kitchen! I finally photographed it and now I'm tackling all of that trim in our entryway and powder room. <br /><br />I hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCbFFnCV0jWt6gELsz0PcXkWPbDL5iNn8r5HwYPad3lPWHfybTKwi_uV_3QaB__EoLjxUWyKA8Wb9z1mvpPzaJkRiQoh-SkDP7lshK0u4dmKbVFVOc1Vty8t667qBZb2zlyaR-9uc8Cok/s1600/NewSignature.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCbFFnCV0jWt6gELsz0PcXkWPbDL5iNn8r5HwYPad3lPWHfybTKwi_uV_3QaB__EoLjxUWyKA8Wb9z1mvpPzaJkRiQoh-SkDP7lshK0u4dmKbVFVOc1Vty8t667qBZb2zlyaR-9uc8Cok/s1600/NewSignature.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

The one above was a gift for my sister, Dana a little while ago but didn't want to post until I had given it to her. I recently saw one of my blog friends, <a href="http://mysweetsavannah.blogspot.com/2012/04/diy-picture-frame.html">Melaine</a>, make something similar as well (love the pattern she used!) so I guess I wasn't the only one with this idea - haha! I have to say although I love the idea, I didn't execute it as well as I had hoped to. I did the chevron way too big. I was going for bold but I made it way too bold. For Dana's I didn't distress it too much because I didn't think that would go as well with the style of her city apartment. (I made some for myself too, and I distressed those a bit more - I will show you them tomorrow and where I put them). <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCSsT8lpvL0jIa1-1g5exAfsa08qSEOi48wpS3aVVuzKFYcUGFe_HJ8WxwEWoVWJpR9iG1EhFoVwfHpQ7CHP7fVeI1y2mamweIvbDQ7I3PIHLpYF1tbE0nl2ykCcmooKIUznDkYy5Nww0E/s1600/fDSC_2263.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCSsT8lpvL0jIa1-1g5exAfsa08qSEOi48wpS3aVVuzKFYcUGFe_HJ8WxwEWoVWJpR9iG1EhFoVwfHpQ7CHP7fVeI1y2mamweIvbDQ7I3PIHLpYF1tbE0nl2ykCcmooKIUznDkYy5Nww0E/s640/fDSC_2263.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwvP9ecugDtnJeIwsuO7NpfuyqxqxgQyi-Om3O8tQfEAvjD9nokquOB010P02DQHI87om51PErRZbNJEkhf0Xdq_xWHjtGVwv2Pf-LwMYVe6u5n-kfeyInLJeqcEs9v5BYH_Ha6-uAGUly/s1600/fDSC_2272.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwvP9ecugDtnJeIwsuO7NpfuyqxqxgQyi-Om3O8tQfEAvjD9nokquOB010P02DQHI87om51PErRZbNJEkhf0Xdq_xWHjtGVwv2Pf-LwMYVe6u5n-kfeyInLJeqcEs9v5BYH_Ha6-uAGUly/s640/fDSC_2272.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The cool part about these is that it is really easy to change out the photo!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilie0zDAknCRb0N6BX5l1rqM-SqALjUKrAHz5Wv6sZuQ4VAYVu5mHZjAqccNGP7ugYMvfbxl3PB0RM0WMwaZzS1jx8ARtwI5fhA-zMLHebBabS0Vu6PTgUm0O_qczrIh_IAaT3q9dnUeQV/s1600/fDSC_2211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilie0zDAknCRb0N6BX5l1rqM-SqALjUKrAHz5Wv6sZuQ4VAYVu5mHZjAqccNGP7ugYMvfbxl3PB0RM0WMwaZzS1jx8ARtwI5fhA-zMLHebBabS0Vu6PTgUm0O_qczrIh_IAaT3q9dnUeQV/s640/fDSC_2211.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><b>1) First I painted a 24 by 24 inch board gray. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">For Dana's I used London Fog and Ballet White. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><b>2) Then I measured out every six inches and made a little dot with chalk.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"> (I wish I had done every three or every four inches instead though).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJuL1mxeInf7W55Ijor7qn9cm7-xhb5t8uIdP0oQPtpzp0aY5yMGEtNkp8G9C_guibOuOQOqt75MqEsHnY-h4py9OF965mELzDI4HdUIHIK-4zhXThQWBC7CrpUyEqOSgIOFvBmQOIsix/s1600/nIMG_3215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJuL1mxeInf7W55Ijor7qn9cm7-xhb5t8uIdP0oQPtpzp0aY5yMGEtNkp8G9C_guibOuOQOqt75MqEsHnY-h4py9OF965mELzDI4HdUIHIK-4zhXThQWBC7CrpUyEqOSgIOFvBmQOIsix/s640/nIMG_3215.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">3).
