Glossy black spray paint is a staple in my house and it yet again came in handy so I could get some artwork up in my bathroom. The art itself is "borrowed" from a book I got from a museum bookshop (yes I saw the exhibit) so pretty pictures, and one quote in cool font, check. The frames were all bought at local yard sales for a total of maybe $15 so budget, check. Hit the Depot for a can of paint plus primer in glossy black and the local hardware store for a custom piece of glass to fit one of the yard sale frames, and I was ready to go. The whole project took about an hour and cost less than lunch, ok, lunch with a glass of wine.

The frames are strong enough that nothing else is needed on the wall which is painted in my new favorite gray. |

One pair of frames ties two distant walls together. The black frames help the accent in the original 1930s tile work make more sense in the space. |

One of my favorite frames, now that it's black! |
