Here is a unique picture frame that I customized myself, for one-of-a-kind wall decor in our powder room.
I found this frame at our local flea market. Originally, it was covered in several layers of thick black paint, but the frame itself was pretty and the size was just right for an old advertising print that I'd purchased on ebay.
I sanded off the paint down to bare wood using a hand-held power sander. I left sections of the black paint in place to give the frame a distressed look.
Once I was happy with the overall look, I used a small-grit sandpaper to smooth down any rough edges. Then I wiped it down with a damp cloth to pick up and remaining dust, and it was ready to hang!

Oh I am so jealous. We have 5 people in a 3 bedroom ranch w/o a basement and flea markets our out of our space budget. I love flea markets!
