I had a frame, but no glass. Hence I needed to hang up a family portrait, so the solution was to get the glass. The frame was a favorite of mine, but I think it was originally intended for a painting.I was looking to buy some glass from Home Depot, but by sheer chance I saw this option, and I am so glad that I did. Today the family portrait is nicely hanging in my living room.And since I have the glass, I might try my hand and make a few frames with some trim and wood I have lying around.
