Originally, the frame was brown with gold accents. After a few months of it hanging, I decided to take the plunge & paint the whole frame the dark brown that you see above. I felt better about it for a while, but then decided I didn't like the contrast between the brown & the white, especially since that color of brown is no where else in the room.
This past week, I decided to try a new color of spray paint. I gave it two coats of satin nickel & then brought it back in to hang on the wall. The faux silver didn't do the frame any favors & my husband just started laughing when he saw it!! Urgh! I decided I needed to tame down the silver, so I used a t-shirt to rub some wood stain all over the frame. After letting it sit for a few minutes, I wiped the stain off. The result is below:
{Sorry about the crooked candle...}
This accented the designs in the frame & definitely toned down the faux silver. I'm still not sure I like it, but this is how it will stay for now anyway!
