Love love love! Finally someone elses brain that thinks like mine! I love the thermostat cover!!!!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you!! 😊

[@missmiko1]

Thermostat cover was genius!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you!! 😊

[@gatheringmoss5726]

Love all of these! The one that stores the pictures could be made as gifts with prints included and ready to display for the 4 seasons. Or, sold as sets like that at craft fairs. You always have great ideas!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you! Great idea!

[@nangel270]

Just a caution: Covering your thermostat looks great but then it can’t read the room temperature, and that’s what it’s for.

[@AngelNichole]

I’ve had mine covered for a few weeks now and I haven’t noticed a difference, but there’s still air flow to it since the box is separated at the bottom. Mine is actually directly across from my front door in my foyer so I think it’s actually helped it not kick on unnecessarily when someone opens the door 😊

[@rachellarsen939]

I love the cover also but was thinking the same thing, I will have to try it! Love the idea!!!

[@PAndrew002]

I wonder if putting holes in the frame would help.

[@LynneLove]

Many thermostat the temperature sensor is the bottom and sticks out of thermostat it looks like a thin wire with a tiny bud on it the frame I put over did not obstruct it…plus you can gentle pull out a little so that frame does not cover it

[@melissaybarra1924]

Wow what great ideas you came up with using picture frames. 🖼 Just Genius! 😊 I love them all. 🤍 Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰

I would use the shelf frame for keys also. Nice

[@sunshinevibes4357]

Wow! Great ideas!!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@tracy9792]

I have three little grandsons and I picked up three 12x12 picture frames from my local charity shops and made blackboards out of them and the boys love them.l bought some shadow picture frames and turned them in to key boxes by putting some lovely backing paper on and then six hooks on them so no one can lose their keys again! Love your ideas. ❤

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you! Yes! I change mine often so I couldn’t wait to make these 😊

[@katieh200]

Great ideas thanks for sharing ,you could also screw some small hooks on the underside of the inner shelf or bottom of the actual frame box for your keys 👍😉💛

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you! 😊 that would be a wonderful idea!

I love your idea with covering your thermostat, which helped me to think of a frame for my tired looking doorbell speaker! All of your thrifted frame ideas came out gorgeous, even the frame used for sunglasses, placed at your front door! TFS❤

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much! ❤️ and that’s an awesome idea too! 🤗

[@KarolOlson]

Great ideas and beautifully done! I am inspired to try that little wall shelf idea. Thank you!

Thank you!!! 😁❤️

[@mslee3524]

SO clever! I LOVE EVERY ONE! So cool that the pictures can change for seasons, growing children, or decor or mood changes. Also, the conceals are great! Wish I had a cover up idea for my electric box behind the entrance door. It's noticable, ugly (grey), and in a weird spot for decor! But thanks for these wonderful ideas!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much!! I used to have an electrical panel right when you walked in the door of my old house too and it drove me crazy. I never thought about it until now, but I probably could have covered it with a big shadow box frame using those command picture hangers 😊

[@deirdremurray2750]

Great ideas! ❤️

[@Linda211]

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, Angel! Brilliant ideas! I love everything you've created! The thermostat cover is really pretty but doesn't the temperature in your house get regulated through your thermostat? Wouldn't the cover impede its ability of it to do its job? Thanks for all the great ideas in this video. I'll definitely be trying some of these in my own home! ❤

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I haven’t noticed the cover hindering the thermostat at all, I think maybe because the box is not completely sealed as one piece. When it’s closed there’s still a gap there at the wall to let air flow in, but someone suggested to just leave that bottom piece off which is a great idea too since you can’t see that piece anyway 😊

[@SuperAMgal]

The thermostat cover is functional and pretty. If we weren't using our thermostat so often, I would try this craft myself!

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you! We don’t use ours at all for about half the year so I was thrilled to cover it 😁

[@TheRepurposedSouth]

These were genius! Definitely saving this video as inspiration ❤

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@elainekilgore1352]

Something I did years ago is back a couple of frames, one with lace fabric and one with natural color burlap. Each are perfect for hanging the scores of hook earrings I’ve made over time.

[@AngelNichole]

That is a great idea! Sounds very pretty too! 😊

[@elainekilgore1352]

@@AngelNichole I applied battery powered mini string lights to the back of the burlaped frame. A glowing showcase, so to speak. 🙂

[@mariec.5942]

J'aime tes quatre propositions ! Je vais faire les trois premières. Je vais détourner celle du thermostat pour cacher la porte du tableau électrique qui est hideuse et pour laquelle je cherchais une solution avec un cadre pou ranger les clés par exemple. Mais avec ton idée, je serai sûre d'avoir la bonne taille. Merci !

[@paulamcclellan8436]

The thermostat cover is a cute idea , but won't that stop it from reading the Temp. Maybe leave bottom open , instead of completely covering.

[@AngelNichole]

You could definitely do that! You can’t see the bottom when it’s closed anyway 😁 I’ve had it up for a few weeks now and it doesn’t seem to hinder it at all, but that could be because the bottom wood piece is just attached to the frame and it has air space when closed still 😊

[@paulamcclellan8436]

@@AngelNichole ok Thanks, just wondering. I appreciate your quick response.

[@sharivaudo5908]

This is the first time that I've found your channel. I love these projects, but I have a question about the thermostat cover. Will covering the thermostat affect the temperature in the room? I can't wait to see more of your videos.

[@AngelNichole]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them! I haven’t noticed it hindering my thermostat at all, but since my box isn’t sealed all the way around, there’s a gap when it’s closed so it still gets air flow. Someone else mentioned you could leave the bottom piece of wood off completely which is a great idea because that piece isn’t visible anyway. 😊

[@julie2643]

What we site do you use for art prints. I too would like to swap mine out based on season. Thank you

[@AngelNichole]

I use the NY Museum of art open access mostly, but also check the NY public library, and the National Gallery of Art open access. They all have beautiful free art downloads 😊

[@nicoleperron3315]

Just curious but doesn't enclosing the thermostat affect the sensors for the temperature? Isn't the ambient air circulation needed to accurately control the temperature?

[@AngelNichole]

I, personally, haven’t noticed any difference for mine and that may be because my box isn’t completely sealed. There is a small gap when it’s closed so I think maybe that’s why it works fine. Someone else mentioned you could leave the bottom piece off too if it does prevent air flow which is a great idea because you can’t even see that bottom part 😊

[@lilup9138]

What’s the name of the molds you used with hot glue?

[@AngelNichole]

These are the ones I used 😊 amzn.to/42dvupK

[@sherryleggett1612]

I so wish we would come to the end of this shabby chic style. Why does everything have to look old?

[@AngelNichole]

You don’t have to do shabby chic if you don’t like it. Everything is always customizable. Everyone likes different things. Even in this video, you could use modern frames with whatever color you like 😊 old just happens to go with my 100 year old colonial home and I enjoy vintage and antiques.
