[so cheap, so easy]: West Elm Inspired Frame

I have this frame in my living room. Once upon a time, it was a goldish color. I bought it for the shape and size and then painted it...but only three times, so naturally, it was time to paint it again. 

This is paint job number three. I painted it white and made a faux croc texture. The tutorial is here. 

I found this West Elm frame on Pinterest (it is no longer sold), and I got to work. I used the seams in the corners as a guide and then used a ruler to draw on the lines with a pencil. I then just free-handed the paint, since the surface was too textured for tape.

Here's the finished product. I like the color and pattern it adds to the room. Maybe I'll leave it like this for a while. I mean, really, who would paint something five times?!
