Picture frames are wonderful pieces of decor, but you don't have to reserve them solely for photos. Because frames are easy to come across and often cheap, especially in antique stores and thrift shops, you can buy them for cheap and turn them into something else over the course of a weekend. A little paint and a creative mindset can lead to some lovely accents throughout your home.
