I want to do something like this above my sofa in the family room. (Pic is from Pinterest). I found the hardware for it but I can't find any frames I like that are similar. Any suggestions as to where I can find some? The ones pictured are handmade by the decorator and I do not have that kind of talent! (I want fairly large frames to fill the space above the couch.

I found these on Etsy. I didn't go through them all, but several were very similar. |

Aaron Brothers might be where I'd start first. Their selection changes often, so you never know what you'll find.

Michael's and Hobby Lobby both have a lot of really nice frames.

I know you say you "have no talent", but those are just frame within a frame. If you can't find what you like inexpensively, you should give it a shot at making it. You might surprise yourself. You'd only have to find the frames to size (even used/thrift) , not even same color. Paint, don't be afraid to make a mistake. You can paint again. The outer frame just need a fill in. It could be painted wood or the inner part that came with frame covered with cloth or burlap would be cool. It comes in that color and lots of others and is cheap. Then just plop the frame with photo in it on top and adhere with whatever works. A rustic nail or two or three... and some strong adhesive. Liquid Nails or something. It only has to look good from the front. I don't know if I've talked you into it, but I've just about convinced myself to try! Come on it'd be fun!  |
