Because I wanted to make sure our family room felt personal I wanted to add in lots of family photos. I put the chevron frames (I will probably eventually change those out for something a little bit nicer) above the sofa and then wanted to add some photos of Lillie and Lola on either side of the TV. I hunted through our stash of frames and couldn't find anything that worked so I decided to use some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from Karla who owns <a href="http://www.ladybutterbug.com/">Lady Butterbug</a> to transform a couple of frames into something that would look better. I had two black ones that I liked the size of so decided to work with those.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaE-mef6OBC2TcFx_tKKewcK1Zx6X2WN_KHuX6fsPUR-KoOooOOhd_u-KzOAWWOc09xXPi-Wskaivzi1zQ5y7W640NC4DvLkJ6u8qZlTs6bl1yr9e_ir95AjKyEinHTV5PnFE__hyphenhyphenQSg5z/s1600/uphoto-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaE-mef6OBC2TcFx_tKKewcK1Zx6X2WN_KHuX6fsPUR-KoOooOOhd_u-KzOAWWOc09xXPi-Wskaivzi1zQ5y7W640NC4DvLkJ6u8qZlTs6bl1yr9e_ir95AjKyEinHTV5PnFE__hyphenhyphenQSg5z/s640/uphoto-5.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />The first thing I did was paint the frame in <a href="http://www.ladybutterbug.com/shop#!__shop/chalk-paint/vstc4=colors-4">Paris Grey</a>.

I highly recommend heading on over to <a href="http://www.ladybutterbug.com/home">Lady Butterbug</a> and checking out all of the amazing Annie Sloan products that Karla carries! She is so wonderful about answering any questions you may have and even offers workshops.<br /><br />And don't worry - I know you are probably sick of seeing the family room. Next week along with showing you the chandelier makeover in the dining room, I will be showing you Lillie and Lola's room and our kitchen island. And then after that the full kitchen! I finally photographed it and now I'm tackling all of that trim in our entryway and powder room. <br /><br />I hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKx585u1lrzApJk8D3Tk4peFSyA9JeGmmNaYn3LtHt1uL7Nr8wUhn9oC7SrVJ-VOzePE-_PB0vGjLZ56uhV7FNzvcK5vzbfkkpm7ng2UmmWEvBXFzGOAmrI_nXzw4WBAVuQWU31tJ11ZZ/s1600/NewSignature.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKx585u1lrzApJk8D3Tk4peFSyA9JeGmmNaYn3LtHt1uL7Nr8wUhn9oC7SrVJ-VOzePE-_PB0vGjLZ56uhV7FNzvcK5vzbfkkpm7ng2UmmWEvBXFzGOAmrI_nXzw4WBAVuQWU31tJ11ZZ/s1600/NewSignature.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
