"To Mamaw, Love From Tiffany"

I saw something on Pinterest (story of my life!) and knew 

that I wanted to replicate this project in my kitchen:

Framed Vintage Recipes

I love how they turned out!!!

But these aren't just random vintage recipes- 

these are from my Mamaw, a genteel Southern lady who

 loved to cook for her family, all gathered in her home.

Since I was doing this "on the dime", 

I collected some frames via garage sales & family rejects...

...and gave them several coats of paint...

...this paint, to be specific...

...transforming yucky colors like this...

...into this lovely shade of gray...or grey:)

This frame had been gold but after several coats, it was like new:)

I'm no spray paint expert, but I was more confident after completing this project:)

 I chose specific recipes (like "Congealed Salad")

and then placed them on an archival quality matte (Michaels) to preserve their life

I highly recommend using archival quality!!!

Cost:

Frames: $1.50

Recipes- Free!

Paint: $4.50 (Joann - 40% coupon)

Matte: $8ish (still have a lot left for another project!)

Total Cost: <$15

As the final touch, I added a note from me, 

written as a young child stating: "To Mamaw, Love From Tiffany" under her photo.

These are now hung in my kitchen, in a place of honor

 and I love knowing that my Mamaw is watching over me as I cook for my family:)

Thanks for stopping by,

Tiffany
