See these frames? They look plastic (though they are made of something a bit heavier) but have a great shape.
With a little white paint and Fiddes wax in stripped pine, here's what they look like now! Aged to perfection
I've had this cupboard/cabinet door in my garage for almost 2 years. I finished this sign yesterday for a friend but chickened out on giving it to her because it's super heavy and kind of big and I never want anyone to feel like they have to display something I give them. But I do think someone will like it....I love that quote!
What are you transforming this weekend?

Love the transformation! They look great, nice job1
Love the finish on the frames, and the sign is pretty cool too.
I LOVE the finish on those frames! Is Fiddes (SP?) wax different from others in some special way? I'm not a DIY'er so sorry if I sound dense. Oh and the sign is adorable too! Vanna/your newest follower
what a really useful post!
I love how these frames turned out. I will have to find that wax. I have a few projects that it would look great on. Can you find it at Home Depot.
