I love to create projects from salvaged materials. I can often visualize its potentials and transform them into useful objects. Here are some of the inspirational boards I created from trash (old frames) to fab!

Lovely post. You have a very creative eye for re-cycling.
These are wonderful, now I have a mental note what to do with the old frames I've been saving for....
"Mary Ann Message Boards".
I want to start today but I've got so many 'things on the go' - I'll make an appointment for them in my diary!!!
What is Memorial weekend? Sorry to be ignorant but I'm in New Zealand about 17,000 miles away - forgive me!
Mary Ann thank you for visiting my blog and joining up. Hugs
Beautiful projects Mary Ann! I like them a lot!!! And what I adore is giving new life to unuseful things!
Happy week end!

What a great way to use an old frame. I see lots of great frames and always wonder what to do with them. I love how you used the photos.

What a great project,i am inspired what to make a chalk board...deepali
I love what you have created with old frames. What a great idea.
An inspiration board was on my list of Must-Do's this year. So far it hasn't materialized, but after this wonderful post Mary Ann, I know exactly what I'm going to do with a big old fancy frame that I'd thought was well past its use-by-date. Thanks a million!

Oh, fabulous remakes here, Mary Ann! This is a wonderful idea, and you did a really good job! My new thing that I'm planning to try is an idea I got from Amy at Varnish, to buy old framed artwork with glass frames at Goodwill or somewhere, repaint the frames and paint chalkboard paint over the glass for chalkboards! We'll see how it comes out, have a fabulous weekend!
Oh wow these are great!! Ive been looking to do something similar but not been able to find a suitable frame!! You really have done a great job!
Hope you're having a great weekend!!

It IS time to bring pretty back , isn't it!? ( :
I don't know how you come up with these ideas! I can NOT look at something and see it turned into anything. I just don't have the gift. Lucky you!
Have a pretty day!
