Updating Picture Frames

Wow!  I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I made a post.  The really sad part is that I have made note of several things to make posts about, I just haven't gotten around to actually making the posts.  Oh well, I guess I will just jump in and start.
I recently came across 2 prints I saved from my childhood.  They are really beautiful but the frames were horribly dated. 

I forgot to take a picture of the other one before fixing

In December when I was  making Christmas presents, I bought some Rub n Buff but I didn't realize how bright it would be.  I ended up not using it for that project and I have been trying to find something to make with it since.

Well, how perfect!  My older two girls share a room and it is decorated in bright colors like pinks, oranges and bright blues.

Here are both prints.

Not only do the blue frames go perfectly with my daughters' room, it also really makes the prints pop.
A great solution to updating the look of a room without spending a lot of money.  You could also spray paint a frame but I wanted to use the Rub n Buff so some of the gold would shine through and the frames would  have more depth than if they were all one solid color.
