As I've harped on—ooops, I mean said many times before, you can make do with things you have around the house. And since I have a plethora of old frames, I decided to freshen them up with a coat of pure white paint. Now, if the old finish shows through in some places, all the better since I love the chippy look anyway.

Just hot glue some of the roses to a corner or two and it entirely changes the old look to a fresh new one.

These two I thought were beyond hope but not so after I painted the frames and let some of the "cracks" show through.
