And the Winner Is…
I can’t remember exactly who I found you Instagram feed through, but I instantly fell in love & began following you on Facebook & Pinterest. I don’t want to miss a thing! I just adore your style. Thank you for sharing so much loveliness with the world!
Easy Double Stacked Frame DIY!
This one is all for you! After posting Winnie’s “Little Girl” Room Reveal last week, I was surprisingly bombarded with questions about the double stacked frames (pink/white striped and blue frames) that flank her windows. Although this was an ounce of a DIY, I decided to do a full-blown DIY just for all of you!
And guess what?!? I am giving away the one that I made to one lucky reader! Simply comment below with where/how you found my blog (just because I am curious) and you are entered to WIN!
Note… it IS a DIY so the one you’d win (pictured above) is not completely perfect.
So here’s the story on my original frame DIY…
I purchased these pink/white striped frames from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child quite a few years ago and unfortunately they are no longer available. They hung in our previous home in the girl’s playroom…
And then these amazingly beautiful blue frames from Poppy Tree Frames hung in Winter’s nursery in our previous home…
(You can see more images from our previous home HERE & HERE)
So one day, I had these all stacked on the ottoman in our bedroom and the blue one was sitting on top of the pink one. I wasn’t sure at the time where I would be hanging them in our new home but the way they were stacked, I thought hmmm. that looks pretty amazing! So I got out my hot glue gun and literally glued the two frames together…
Read more on… Winnie’s “Little Girl” Room Reveal
So now, I am going to show you how you can create the same look for less than $20! P.S. I had a coupon for Hobby Lobby which made the scalloped frame only $9!
The Materials
What You Will Need:
1- 6′ 1×6 Board (cut details are below)
Foam or Paint Brushes
Painter’s Tape
Three Paint Colors (colors I used detailed below)
(You can buy sample sizes for this project or even acrylic craft paints. I just used the leftover quarts I had from Winnie’s DIY Campaign Dresser project)
Wood Glue/Adhesive (do not use this one! LOL!)
8″ x 10″ Scalloped Frame
Sander
The Process
Step One
Mark and cut a 6′ long 1×6 into four pieces… 2 @21″ and 2 @ 19″
Step Two
Mark and cut each 1×6 on each cut end to create the mitered corners.
Step Three
Lightly sand each piece on the top, bottom and sides.
Step Four
Glue each side together to create the box frame shape using wood glue. I first tried unsuccessfully to use the adhesive pictured above and it came apart. I then purchased and used Gorilla glue and it worked perfectly! We also went back after this image was taken and caulked the seams and sanded once more.
Step Five
While the rectangular frame was drying, I started painting the Hobby Lobby frame I had purchased. I lightly sanded the frame first and then painted on three coats of Glidden Lime Foam. It sounds green but it’s more blue.
Step Six
Once the paint was dry, I lightly sanded the edges to create a slightly distressed finish mimicking the one I had from Poppy Tree Frames.
Step Seven
Once the frame was glued together and dry, I painted four coats of Glidden White. Oh and all of the paint I used are a Hi-Gloss enamel finish.
Step Eight
After the four coats were completely dry, I marked the frame off for the stripes mimicking the same look as the Restoration Hardware frame. The pink stripes are 1-1/2″ wide and the white are 2″ wide.
Step Nine
Following the marks I previously made on the top and bottom, I taped off the areas that will be pink.
Step Ten
Finally, I painted two coats of Glidden Pink Mimosa onto the taped off areas (except the tiny center striped, my tape just wasn’t wide enough so it need two strips in each 2″ white area).
Step Eleven
Using Titebond wood glue, I adhered the two frames together lining up the openings.
So here’s the “Original”…
And here’s my “DIY Knock-Off”!
Super excited with the result! Thanks for reading!
XOXO, Brittany Hayes
Love your blog! Found you through Ashley Mitchell when you originally aired on Shark Tank. Everything you do is beautiful!!
Love that fun project, can’t wait to give it a try. I found your blog just a few weeks ago when my sister “liked” something on it. So glad she introduced me to it. Can’t wait to follow your new adventure in your historic wonderland.
I love the frame…
Found you on IG… Luckily!!!
It’s darling! I follow you on IG
So cute! Found you by looking through pinterest images based off a search for wallpaper!!
Darling frame. Found your blog on Instagram, and so glad I did!!!
Last year at MOPS I met an awesome southern gal and she has introduced me to all things southern including your blog!
I found you on Instagram and then started following your blog. Such an inspiration, thank you so much!
Love it! I stumbled upon your page on IG – love the inspiration! 🙂
I found you on Instagram! Someone posted a picture of your account. Can’t wait to see how the Historic Wonderland turns out! I live vicariously through you since my husband has an aversion to old homes.
I love you and your blog! It’s always so fun to see your bold ideas come together so seamlessly. Of course I began following your blog to support Maghan’s big sister and I must say I am so so impressed with how far you’ve been able to come since beginning AW. I look forward to continuing to watch your amazing success! I pray my new baby is a girl so I can do a AW inspired nursery!! Fingers crossed for pink!!
I love your blog! And your IG! it’s usually the first thing I check with my coffee when my girls have woken up way to early and want cuddles and cartoons! I found your ig through another diy-er. So happy I did as your page is now like inspiration crack!
Love this frame!! Saw you on shark tank and found you through the pottery barn giveaway on Insta!
So great!! Found you through Vonjet sharing your post… So glad!
Love your version of the frame…maybe even more so than the original. 🙂 I started following you on IG quite some time ago after falling in love with the bedding line / fabrics. 🙂 🙂
Love the DIY frame. Yours is better as the miter cuts are not visible. I found your IG as a recommendation from my daughter, she follows you. I am looking forward to the transformation of your gutted hom.
I found your Instagram account on the popular page! It was a picture of your staircase and I was instantly attracted to your use of color in such a fun and unexpected way! I’ve been following your accounts ever since! Such an inspiration! Looking forward to seeing what you are doing next and seeing your Christmas wonderland!
Love! I follow you on instagram and found your blog on there! 🙂
Beautifully done! I found you a while ago through Facebook when I began my search for little girls’ bedroom ideas:) Your blog inspires me to step out color-wise and pattern-wise…to be daring and have fun with home decor in the way I have done with fashion! The frame is already in the color scheme of my daughter’s room!
Love that frame! I have all sorts of ideas on how I can use the design for both regular home décor and some Christmas stuff too! I found your blog when a friend liked you on Facebook, it showed up on my newsfeed and I liked what I saw so I researched further.
Love this!! I found your blog through FB 🙂
Saw you on shark tank!! Love your stuff!!
I was visiting Florida a year ago and my friend who I was staying with told me about your blog. We were on the blog for awhile that night talking about your projects. Love the painted wood floors.
Your frame looks just like the one your purchased. Beautiful!
Love, Love, Love!!!! I’m so excited to try your ideas in my daughter’s bedroom. We just bought our own historic “wonderland” and you’re creativity is fabulous! I found you on Pinterest!
LOVE the adorable frame!! It would look perfect in my little girls’ playroom that I am in the process of trying to make “functional” yet adorable. I found your blog about a year ago when I was sitting in the dance studio waiting on my girls to get out of class. The other moms and I were talking about children’s bedding and one mom mentioned that Addison’s Wonderland bedding was a must-see! She was right and I have been hooked ever since. You rock!!! 😉
Instagram…love your style!!
This is super cute!! I have been following you for a few years. I found you on Pinterest when I was looking up bedding and cornices for my little girls room.
Hi Brittany! I found you a couple weeks ago when a friend of mine liked one of your posts on Facebook. Something completely eye-catching of course, and then I was hooked! You have inspired me so much to be more bold and use more color and pattern in our home – so much so that I’m re-creating my girls’ room similar to your Winter’s! That DIY frame would be awesome to display in it. Your talent’s are truly a gift. Keep doing what you are doing and I will be following. Good luck with your historic wonderland 🙂
I love this frame and I found you on IG!!
I started following you from either Red dress or Color drunk designs can’t remember . Love your blog!!
Found randomly through Facebook when you were selling all the bedding and other things
I’ve been following you since I saw you on a Shark Tank!
I don’t even remember because I’ve been following you for so long! I think it was a link from someone else’s blog. LOVE your style!!
Very cute! I can’t remember how I found you. I want to say I was looking for bedding for my daughter and came across your stuff on Pinterwst or Facebook and have been following you ever since! Love your style!!!
I absolutely love your blog. I first started following you when you sold the the girls bedding (before Shark Tank). I thought it was absolutely adorable. I’m so sad that you’re not selling it anymore.
About half a year after my first born turned one (2011) I googled “tulle bed skirts” since I was trying to make one for her soon to be toddler bed. As I googled images I saw a picture of your bedding that was taken outside with a purple headboard and peeks of tulle on the bed skirt. I was hooked and have followed you & your pictures since then
* I came across your Instagram through someone I follow liking one of your pics! So glad I did! I’ve been wanting to spruce up my 4 year old daughters room and your blog is such an inspiration. I would love to know if you made the medallion thing around the light on the ceiling? That is precious!!! 🙂
Hi;) I saw you on Shark Tank and loved all of your bedding. When I had my kids and moved into our new home, I frantically searched the web trying to remember your business. I knew for sure it had Addison in the name:) a few searches and I found you!
It seemed like you and your work kept popping up. I was looking for bedding via Google. At least 10 people mentioned your name. You had me at tulle.
A Facebook friend had posted an image of your bedding for her “dream little girls room” sometime after Shark Tank. She linked us over to your Instagram account and I’ve been a follower ever since! My browser has you saved right next to PBK and RH Baby & Child 🙂
From a FB friends post!
I found you from researching your bedding that was on shark tank! Love your blog and everything you do!
Sandi p
I can’t quite remember but somewhere on FB. I so wish I could decorate my home like yours.
Adorable. I like your diy better thank the original. I found your blog while looking at you amazing bedding on Pinterest and been following ever since. We are about to build our new home and I can’t wait to use some of the tips I have found on your blog.
I love your blog. I saw just on shark tank and found you on FB! I live vicariously through you; you are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Best of luck on your new adventure with the new house!!!!
Love this!!!! I have my very own 3 year old princess and we just purchased our dream house, however, it needs a style makeover! I originally found your blog via Facebook and now I’m addicted! Can’t wait to see your new renovation, it is going to be AMAZING! I would LOVE this frame to add to her room
I love your blog!!!! I just found this a week ago from Facebook … It just magically appeared
Found out about you on social media. I love seeing your post on FB.
Cute frame! I cannot recall exactly how I found your blog, I think it was while just browsing around Facebook.
Cool DIY! I honestly don’t know how I found you but it was before you were blogging and still had the bedding line. I just loved following you. I might have been an Instagram exploring thing. Ha! Glad I stuck with you though.
Love the frame for my nieces pink and white striped nursery she’s creating! Found your blog on Facebook.
So cute! Found your blog while googling for bedding for my toddlers room!
Love your style! I found you while searching on Instagram and I’m so glad I did!

Happened upon your blog though another one. The world of blogging is relatively new to me. It has opened up a whole new world of creativity and inspiration. Thanks for being a part of it! Love the frames. So cute for my newly delivered first granddaughter!
I fell in love with your blog about four years back when I was pregnant with my first. I was looking for baby bedding at the time and fell in love with your collections. I have been following you since!
Is it completely awful of me that I have forgotten how I found your blog?! I am sure it was on pinterest or a facebook share but… I just cannot remember.
Thank you for such a fun giveaway!
I love this Thank You for sharing your talents I’ve been following you for a few years now I’m hoping I’m remembering correctly I saw your bedding on chasingfireflies and have always wanted to purchase beautiful taste !
Super cute! Found you way back, when looking for bedding!
Oh man, that’s gorgeous! My hubby and I can barely hang pictures- We are pathetic at DIY stuff. So, I’m hoping I win your frame. 🙂 I think I found you through Shark Tank. Followed you on Instragram first, then found you on FB.
I’ve been following you since aw bedding. My daughter has some of your bedding and we are still obsessed with it after 2 years!
Your such an inspiration! Absolute joy following you on Instagram 🙂
I LOVE it!!! I first saw you on Shark Tank and then searched online!!’nn
I love, love, love this frame! I found you on Facebook, although I’m not sure how your post popped up, I’m just glad it did!
How fabulous! I actually think the DIY looks better than the original. I stumbled upon you years ago when I was pregnant and didn’t know the sex of the baby and I was on the hunt for bedding and you had the most over the top gorgeous bedding. I ended up with another boy so I didn’t get to purchase the Anniston bedding I adored from you.
I am so glad I found your page on Instagram! I love everything you post and your girls rooms are gorgeous!
Love these!! Would love to make for my daughter’s room. Found your blog through FB.
(I left my other comment under the wrong picture…sorry). Love this gorgeous frame! I finally have a daughter after 3 sons, and this would look amazing in her room. I am not creative nor crafty; although, I love to decorate. I love following you on facebook because you give me so many great decorating ideas that would not have occurred to me without your inspiration. I originally saw you on Shark Tank. I fell in love with Addison’s Wonderland bedding, so I started following you on facebook. I found your awesome blog through your facebook page. Thanks for the opportunity to win this absolutely beautiful frame! 🙂
Love DIYs like this! I found you on IG and must say your kitchen/family room area is my very favorite. Your decorating is so fun and inspiring.
So cute. I would love to display my Emma’s pictures. Found you on IG and love your beautiful home and family. Your use of color is amazing, I’m still learning.
I found your blog while searching for bedding for our little girl. We started building our house last year and I stumbled upon your bedding while getting ideas for her new room. I instantly fell in love with your home and we have created ombré steps just like yours using your blog! We have the same blue beaded light fixture at our entry and striped our diningroom ceiling using your blog. After finding out I couldn’t order your bedding any longer, I ordered some rh bedding… Then when you revealed the bedding for your daughter, it was the same as I had ordered! Love your blog and come so often for inspiration. Thank you!
I found you originally from Pinterest when I fell in love with your little girls bedroom! It’s been my goal to do my little ones room like that ever since! You are so amazingly talented & I love keeping up with you through Facebook!

I found you by my friend Keitha….she moved in across the street and said, “Oh my gosh girl your style is so Addison’s Wonderland! You should do that staircase.” … since then I have been hooked, but not brave enough to do the staircase…soon though 😉

Sooo back in 2011, my HS best friend was expecting her first child, and I helped her gather ideas for a nursery. I found your Addison’s Wonderland collection via google. A couple months later, while my husband watched Shark Tank, I was in the kitchen cleaning when I heard a product pitch about none other than Addison’s Wonderland! From that point on, I have stalked Addison’s Wonderland via social media, and enjoyed your little space of the blogosphere! Keep up the great work and entertainment! 🙂
Saw you on Shark Tank and immediately noticed you wore Matilda Jane! I have followed you since then, especially since building my new home!
I found your blog through Facebook and then starting following you on it and Instagram (I don’t want to miss any posts). I love how the decorating in your house is bright and happy! Most importantly, it is a very welcoming space.
A couple of years ago I saw your episode of Shark Tank. I researched to see if your bedding was in production. after finding out it wasn’t I attempted to sew my own nursery bed set! I wasn’t pleased with it so I’ve been doing practice projects for sewing. My favorite blog post was the Disney vaca tips by the way!
Love you!!! Found you when you were on Shark Tank!! I have 3 of your bedding sets for my girls. Have been a fan ever since.
LOVE your style!! I found you on a Facebook suggestion, glad I clicked like 🙂
Found you on Facebook or IG, can’t remember which came first! Love your style, and your personality
