Vintage Molding and Pallet Wood Frame Diy
I had a great trip to a local salvage yard several weeks ago where I found this one lonely piece of vintage molding. I would have bought more, but this one, six and a half foot piece was all they had.
The paint was peeling everywhere, it was a little knocked up and there was a chunk of wood cut where the molding had gone around some kind of outlet..in other words, it was perfect.

From that one piece of molding, I cut two pieces of wood 21 inches and two pieces, 18 inches, mitered at the corners.
The molding frame was attached with nails and glue.
After two coats of white semigloss latex paint, pallet wood was cut to fit the inside of the frame.
The pallet wood was painted black and then finished off by sanding and staining.
Used a pencil to outline a small wooden picture frame onto the pallet wood. This frame was just a cheapy IKEA wood frame.
A couple of pieces of scrap wood, glued and tacked onto the back hold the pallet wood in place. The small picture frame was glued to the surrounding pallet wood. The clips that hold the picture in place were left exposed to allow me to change the picture.
