We had our pictures done not too long ago and I wanted to display them but could really afford to buy all new frames. I have never had a picture wall, and I always wanted one! I thought of all kinds of ways to display them, but it seemed like it was going to cost money not matter what, so there they sat, all those pictures and no where to go. I also had a stack of picture frames that didn't match anything. I didn't really have a place for them either, so they were literally in a stack on my dresser for about a month. I was reading a woman's blog who says she loves frames on a wall, of all different sizes and in no particular design, and I though hmm... Then I remembered I had half a can of unused black spray paint and thought, why not just spray paint all my frames and hang up them up?
I had a large wall with the hideous black squares that were designed to be hung closer together that I spread apart, trying to take up the space. I took those down and put the pictures up...voila!! I have more frames but need to get more pictures printed, so its not completely finished, but its a good start and way better than before.
I have vowed to start doing more projects around the house. I want to start off small, just do 2 projects and each can only cost $10. They don't have to be big, just a noticeable change. I can't do a whole lot with paint and permanent adjustments because we live in an apartment, but I can make it feel more like a home. Plus, I enjoy it!!
