Wanted: Large Frame for table plan (20" x 30") Shabby Chic style

Options
Anyone know where to buy them from? Found one online but we would prefer to find it locally if we can to make sure it is suitable (would also prefer it in white).

Can you get this type of thing from local picture framing shops? Don't really want to spend much more than £30 really....

Many thanks

    I would suggest having a look round charity shops for old pictures or mirrors then just paint the frame with a tester pot of paint and cover mirror or picture with your plan.

    You might find one locally in a search on ebay for mirror or picture etc and using the nearest to you sort.
  • You could try second hand furniture shops and junk shops too, if there are any near you. Car boot sales might also be worth a look, if you have the time :)

    Dunelm Mills have mirrors with those frames. I have bought one and am writing my table plan on with chalk pen...
  • Hi All

    Thanks for your responses will definately keep an eye out in Car Boots, didn't think about painting one ourselves :T

    Are the mirrors in Dunelm that big (20" x 30")?

    Generally how big are other people's table plans? Do you think 20" x 30" is too big?

    Thanks again

    LOL - hopefully we will find one that is big enough and cheap enough soon :-)

    Just thought I would let you know that we found a frame at a car boot sale this morning for £5!! Well happy with it :)

    Doesn't even need to be painted or anything! :T
