I got this idea from Melinda and seen as I wasn’t the lucky winner of her giveaway I thought I would be a copycat and attempt my own vintage bus roll frame. The frame well that was a thrift store find last week for $5. I could not believe it when I got the frame home and the buss roll fitted in like a glove. Painted the frame in antique white and wella. The whole project very inexpensive a fraction of the price for much the same look as an original.

A job well done! How did you do the lettering -in case now we all want to copy you! 🙂

Ha! The before is a classic. Even I would have trouble loving that retro number!! Definitely a good re-use of the frame.

That turned out so well Sandy, what a perfect fit for the frame! Looks great above that lampshade.
