hi, i'm ann myrick, and today, i'm going toshow you how to choose picture frames to complement your decorating style. i really like darkframes on the wall. i...whenever i get something framed, i really like a black frame. a blackframe can go with, really, any style home you have, and i think a black frame is just...itreally...you put it on the wall, and it grounds the wall. it pops out. there are a lot ofdifferent, wonderful black frames you can use that have carvings in them. so i reallylike a black frame or a darker frame. now, i have examples of new and old, inexpensiveand expensive. these are...now, when i say black, i also love this because this is avery old frame. it has a lot of pieces peeling off of it, but i just chalk that up with character.it has a grey, it has red in it, and i mean,

some reds and some greys and blacks in it.and i have...what i've done with this piece is i have used a piece of artwork from a child,put it on the wall, and then put the frame around it. and it just makes it very interesting.it's a very interesting frame. over here, also, old frame, great relief pattern on top,and just set something in it and just hung it right on the wall. dark, and then withthe texture of the carvings. i just think it really looks great. this is one of my don'ts.this was a painting that i received many, many years ago, and it was in an old lightgallery frame that i loved. and i made the mistake of picking out this frame that iskind of the bumped, shabby-chic look, and i think it was totally a mistake because picturesare expensive to frame, and you want to be

able to keep your frame for a long time. andbecause this is bumped and kind of shabby-chic, it's going to be dated very quickly. and ijust...i made a mistake using this, so i mean, buying this. and so when you're picking outyour frames, you want to think: is it classic? is it...is it something that will still lookgreat in five, ten, fifteen years? this is ann myrick, and that is how to buy pictureframes to complement your decorating style.
