How would you frame this acrylic on board?
I recently picked up this piece by Francis Hamabe at a small auction. He was our neighbor and his works are popular where we live. What kind and color of frame do you think would suit it best?

Kitchen - tiles and wooden window frames
Comments (4)I would do a glass splash back [ this can be painted in your color choice to suit the decor ] - taking from the bench top up to the bottom of the range-hood on the wall of the stove. The window is beautiful and I would give anything to have them in my kitchen. I would probably paint OR stain and apply marine grade vanish to the would so that any moisture would not be able to ruin the wood. I would also put herbs or flowers there. Could it be made into a servery for outside maybe ???...See MoreHow to make best use of laundry space?
Comments (6)I would suggest your plumber links the hot and cold fill pipes to the supply UNDER the sink - this gets rid of unsightly pipes and while he's there get him to move the taps to the L side of sink. I would then create a broad drop down counter top to create a place to sort your laundry ready for hanging out to dry or to fold ready for ironing This drop down counter top to be hinged to R side of washing machine and ensuring the taps are not impeded. If you can't do the drop down version then create a free standing top made out of a piece of MDF/laminated board to put over the sink and washing machine for clothes sorting & folding. This free standing top can 'live' at the side of the washing machine when not needed. I would then put shelves above the folded back counter top to store washing powder and sundries. I would store the washing powder etc in colourful or white boxes to keep the place looking tidy and uniform. Handles on the boxes for ease of access. Oh I do love organising - can I pop round and do this for you? Hope all goes well with the changes....See MoreLaundry closet - should I hang the ironing board on the door?
Comments (4)i have used the simple double-hook-over-the-door rack for years. the key is how far off the wall the door sits! there is a very slight wear issue on the top edge of the face of the door when you remove it--easy to touch up with paint when moving. a GOOD doorstop is invaluable! your room looks so pretty--anything to hide that board is appropriate, i think:)...See MoreHow to remove peeling paint from old brown aluminium window frames?
Comments (3)Thank you Courtney. The challenge is going to be not scratching the powder coated frame. Since posting I have heard that thick solvent based strippers are best, but I'm going to try and remove as much as possible by lifting the loose paint and carefully scraping and scrubbing as you suggested....See More

4 years agoFor that painting, and with the rough edges, I would do a wood floating frame. That way the wood texture brings some intentionality to the roughness of the edges. Plus, the wood tone will bring out the tans in the painting.
