Vintage Swivel Frames

All I wanted was one vintage swivel frame. I just like them. On a trip to see my son and family last year, I mentioned to my oldest sister that I was on the lookout for one.

She brought me a box full of them! And these left in the box are the ones that I haven't transformed yet! She collected them for projects and never did do anything with them. Now she is downsizing and wants rid of them...thanks Deb!

I painted the one above in Annie Sloan French Linen. I printed out a free printable and added scalloped scrapbook paper to the upper and lower, to extend the look and give it some accent.

 I have two step grandsons and in the box I found two separate matching swivel frames.

 After painting them with Old White Annie Sloan chalk paint, I added sport pictures of the boys.

 This swivel frame is an 8 x 10...or close, they didn't exactly size old frames like they do now.

I found this free printable on the Ella Claire blog. She has some really great ones. It works beautifully in this frame.

 Here is one that is not painted yet, but I think it is neat with two swivel frames on one stand.

Also, this is an interesting one with 'doors'. It's not a swivel but really cool. I was thinking that it would be fun to make some kind of Christmas art to display behind the doors during the holiday. I feel another creative project coming!

This swivel frame above, I kept in the original paint and just added this Kitchen Conversion that I designed using my Silhouette and printed it out on scrapbooking paper in the color that my daughter is using as an accent color in her kitchen.

I scanned the kitchen conversions page for you so if you want to do something like this for your kitchen, you can just print mine. The size is 8 x 10.
