Picture Frames

I accomplished my one to-do this past weekend and framed and hung some more photograhs.

In retrospect I'm wishing we had been able to track down some wood frames or used a variety of frames but we were able to get a couple of boxes of various sizes for dirt cheap. The frames are lacking in quality, causing them to hang a little crooked, but I think it adds to the quaintness of the whole thing.

I have a feeling this wall won't stay like this forever and I will get around to reframing and recomposing but for now I think it's fun.

  3. What a great idea and execution. I actually love that the frames are all of the same material and color. It's very eye catching, I wouldn't be able to keep myself from walking up and studying the photos.

  4. Lisa,
    Thank you! I was starting to feel a little matchy-matchy. And that's the exact reaction I want. I want the photos to tell stories about our lives and not be just portraits or just art.

  6. Yolanda - I'm pretty sure I picked up a super cheap pack of frames at Target. They don't have to be fancy!
