Reinvent a Vintage Frame Four Ways

A gorgeous flea-market picture frame can do more than hold a favorite picture. If you have a collection of vintage frames and nothing to fill them with, Country Living is here to your rescue. Try one or more of these suggestions on for size:

1. Pocket organizer: To create a wall display for showing off photographs, postcards, notes, or colorful keepsakes, cut a mat board to fit your frame, then create "pockets" from additional strips of mat board by gluing the edge of the strips to the board with hot glue.

2. Collage: Think outside the box by framing a scrapbook collage, in lieu of a traditional photo. 3. Postmodern decor: Paint an assortment of frames (of different sizes and styles) with white acrylic or latex paint, then hang them as a group on a colored wall.

4. Bulletin board: Stick a cork(board) in it and create a bulletin board for a child's room or home office. This is a particularly great idea if you accidentally knock a picture frame off a wall and the glass cover shatters...not that I would know anything about that.
