antiquing adventure

found some unloved crummy and rather tacky photo frames buried away in the cupboard.  decided to make a gift of them

but only after a makeover.

they sort of go together don’t you think?  one seemed to look lonely without the other.

am quite pleased at how they turned out.

it is all also rather addictive.  makes me want to lay my hands on other unloved wooden objects and work that sandpaper.
