uber shabby chic frames

i havent gotten to do any uber distressed chipped and weathered frames lately so i was thrilled when a repeat customer wanted two in pale pink and vintage cream, i just love when the frames look so old and shabby....so much personality....how precious in a nursery....cheers!

ikat

ok so im a tad obsessed with ikat prints and patterns these days and i am one that can not totally commit to wallpaper {even though im dying too} i decided to find a fabulous wallpaper stencil and make ikat my way...on a frame of course. Ikat pillows are also a way to bring in the fabulous print into your home with out a total commitment of all over. sometimes just a dab will do ya....I was commissioned by the memphis area march of dimes for a donation frame and i thought perfect opportunity to give it a whirl. so here it is in light grey with elephant ear tones and crown trim. I used 8" hard wood to give it more space for pattern and the wide trim to really make the photo pop...cant you just see a black and white one in there? any-whoo...hope you enjoy! 8x8 opening 23x23 overall $150

Welcome to Delta Girl Distressing BLOG! My name is Sarah Ella Cole, wife to Roger, mom to two sweet boys, Airey and Campbell, and CEO of Delta Girl Frames. I’m a Mississippi Delta girl born and raised. I was a stay at home mom and craved an outlet for my creative side to express my roots. Delta Girl Frames was established in 2009 when I needed to frame some pictures in my home. With a little luck from The Man upstairs and a few months of trial and error, I fashioned frames that would represent my style. A rustic tone coupled with a ‘Southern Belle’ twist of patterns. My vision was born, to create a frame that likens a fabulous throw pillow and the perfect way to add a pop of color or pattern to any room. In 2012, I was commissioned by The Nate Berkus Show to do a hand painted, distressed chevron frame. That experience affirmed my vision and intuition that there was a market for my product. My site www.deltagirlframes.com was designed with the intent of bringing your visions to life. Experience and know-how collected over the past five years is strategically arranged to provide you with a clean, fun and engaging platform to frame your memories for years to come. Enjoy!
