I shared this a couple days ago over at Kristen Duke's Decorating With Portrait series she has going on right now, if you haven't been following, you have been missing some grrrrrrreat ideas for putting up photos in the home I for one have been loving the series!!!
I am not a huge fan of my brown walls, especially since I have black furniture. And I do not have the budget to paint my 20 ft+ living room/kitchen. I had no idea how I was going to make it work so I was ecstatic when I found Ikea fabric with brown and black and green in it (top left frame) I'll show you different thigns I did throughout the room with the fabric a little bit later but for now I wanted to share the wall....
So I took some frames I had on hand and traced them out on paper and hung them up to create my visual square. Then I painted up some of the frames and even covered one of them in fabric. The 4 corners I wanted to match with the green and then all the middle frames matched with black borders.
After all was hung up, I got to say goodbye to my big blank eye sore! My little family had a photo shoot this last summer with Melissa from Humble Takes so the larger photos I used those shots, and then the little photos will be switched out often of my little baby girl.
And of course I had to include some of my favorites like our family silhouettes! My daughter looooooooooves seeing her photos up on the wall (hey I would be as ecstatic as her too if I was that cute!) And now we rarely get to pass this wall without giving at least one photo a kiss.
How precious. I also have some brown walls that I am no longer crazy about so I have delayed doing much decorating because I keep thinking I am going to paint. Turns out I'm not {at least for now} so I have been mentally preparing a gallery wall for the dining room. I love that yours isn't very big. Makes it feel more doable for me!
ReplyDeletei love the "love" photo! this set up is wonderful!

ReplyDeleteJamie, your wall came to life! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the colors of the frames to place them. I never thought of doing that, but it makes so much sense. I'm following. Stop by www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.comany time. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOHHH I LOVE your photo wall. We have a big blank wall in our home that I've been wanted to do something on and I've just been too nervous to start hammering holes into it haha. The paper placement is a great tip! I'll have to try it this weekend. Have a good one!

You have a beautiful photo wall. I found you on Delightfully Inspiring I would love to follow you, but I don't see anywhere to follow. :-(
ReplyDeleteI agree that most of our pictures are just kept on files and on Facebook. They deserve to be shown as picture hangers at home and your tips are fabulous. You have a knack for decorating wall pictures. Thanks a lot!
