I finally conquered the frame wall, a project that has forever intimidated me, and I can’t lie, I am quite happy with the way it turned out! A nice mix of art and memories and even space to add a few more!
A few things I learned along the way:
- use the floor to layout all your frames first
- start with a large frame right in the middle and work outwards, it worked best for me
- start with several matching frames and add in a few with texture {all frames shown from Target}
- use varying mat sizes to enhance the depth
- having a second set of eyes really helps {thanks Mom}
- hang the frames empty then work in the art and photos
- use a mix of photos and art, those sunset photos you thought you would never frame, would look great!
