When doing the office update, I knew I wanted to incorporate a painting that holds fond memories of my husband’s dad and stepmom. The frame had seen better days and I figured…why not?
A little Run ‘n Buff product goes a long way so I squeezed a dab onto a paper towel and began working it into the crevices and across the frame.
For smaller areas, I substituted the paper towel for a q-tip. Take your time, add as little or as much you would like.
And drumroll please! TADA!! Pretty spiffy, huh? I so love it!
Hang your masterpiece! It seems so simple but makes such an impact. I love how the gold really brought the pretty colors of the painting.
The Rub ‘n Buff product comes in several beautiful colors. Just think of the fun projects you can update!
