I've known for a long time that I wanted to frame the large print I had made of my Dad's cousins. I just didn't want to spend alot and large frames are pricey. So, I took the thrifty route and found some crown molding at ReStore in Boise, then attached it to some trim I had with a brad gun. I stained it dark brown, sprayed clear lacquer on it and put it up with the brad gun. I like how it completes the picture (and that the peeling edges, thanks to my kids, are now permanently out of harms way). I want to find or make a table to go underneath the picture, to anchor it. Something narrow and long.
The total cost for the frame was $18, the cost of the crown molding, which is alot less than the cost of a new large custom frame. And, trust me, brad guns aren't that scary to use!
