If you didn't read THIS post, the short-story is that I acquired these four frames last month with plans to decorate my studio with them. I knew I was going to do something with the largest painting (the roses), as it wasn't a painting at all, but a print - yes, a nice picture, but it was the incredible old frame I really wanted.
Well, I transformed it into this:
I purchased a nice thick piece of corkboard at Michael's and glued it on with E6000, adding two wooden border trims to fill in the top and bottom. I love that I can pin all sorts of old treasures to it and that it suits my decor much better than the plain-framed boards I used to have.
Probably one of the easiest projects I have undertaken!

Thank you Jo-Jo and Katherine! You are right Katherine -- it is a gorgeous frame; sad to see the roses go, but on close inspection it was just a cheap print ;)
