updating a framed print

We have a favorite print in our entryway that I wanted to update a bit. When we first had it framed, our sofa was an olive green, so we chose a soft, suede-ish type mat. I was ready to switch it up a bit as I’m preparing to tackle the entryway next…

Girl, why are you thinking about the entryway when your kitchen isn’t finished??

I know, I’m kind of crazy like that, but staying on the same project bores me sometimes, so I need to think about other things…

Anyway, it was double matted, so I took off the fuzzy green mat and there was a gold mat underneath you can see in this post

So I took it out to the garage and spray painted that mat with heirloom white spray paint:

I put the single, spray painted mat back on and put it back in the original frame.  A fresh new look for pennies! Did you know you could spray paint mats?

If you want to see some others, here is a post about updating another framed and matted print and another here. I guess I kind of like making over framed prints…

Happy Tuesday!
