Remember, these are my first attempts 
I figured it was apropos (how's that for a 50-cent word?) to frame my first attempt at painting with my first attempt at making a mitered picture frame (MDF). It's 20" x 24". I see there is some sort of white streaks across 3 spots on the painting, you can tell the paint was scratched off-must have been from the moving. Back then, I just could not figure out how to make good whiskers! lol I screwed up and dropped 2 boards and of course got damaged on the top right, did my best to fix it with wood filler. At least it's not super easy to see unless you are searching for it. And I am regretting the black, not sure what color for the frame...
And then my kitchen shelf: I salvaged some old shelving that was damaged by the FedEx guy (saw him do it! lol) so the right corner on it needs touching up, also. But I was able to cut out the worst damage because of the length I wanted. The shelf is just particle board that has been covered with a black/brown foil, so not sure how to fix that yet...and I used 2 3/8" x 10" black iron nipples, 2 floor flanges and 2 caps. Although the black looked very cool, I ended up not liking the idea of sticky pipes in the kitchen, to collect dust and debris, so I ended up cleaning the black stuff off.
But there you have it. :yes4:
