Family Portrait: The Framing

I began searching the house for frames, and all I could come up with was this tacky natural wood frame. So, I remembered this idea I saw on Pinterest on vintage wood staining, and got to work. First, I took a pocket knife and scraped and gouged holes. Next, I made a mixture of coffee grounds, vinegar, and a steel wool pad, and let that soak overnight.

I wiped this mixture all over the frame and let dry between coats. In the end, I only did two layers. (You can do more if you would like a darker stain.)

Here is the finished product! Just needs a touch of ironing and a place to hang!
