I thought I would show you some of the corners I've been working on...Here's the first one.
My budget for this small project was...$0! I had all the frames stored and a lot of them were different colors. I spray painted them all black so they would all be unified.
I wanted a variety of the kids at mostly recent stages so I just printed them on watercolor paper using my printer at home. I can update them easily.
I centered all the photos around our family name plaque, which has been in several different places around my house.
this silhouette was made at Walt Disney World in 1981. It is me, my brother, and mother.
Remember I told you of my new favorite color combo? I forgot that I had this piece. I bought it from this etsy shop about three years ago.
There's not a lot of room for much on the piano without it looking too cluttery, so I settled for some fresh roses and a spring themed item. This is a good excuse for me to splurge on fresh flowers for myself on a regular basis:)

Oh, just in case you were wondering, I used the brown paper method for hanging the frames. I traced them all on brown paper, cut them out, and taped them all over the wall and moved them around until I liked the arrangment. Then I actually hung the frames.

Such a beautiful corner! Thanks for sharing the brown paper method, hadnt heard of it before. I've recently moved and I was thinking about having a wall like this.. it looks great! :-)
great pictures...thanks for sharing!
i like how you used frames you had and spray painted them black to match!
I love what you did!
I think my favorite part of the arrangement is the picture of the little kiddo with the fake mustache... At least I hope it's fake!
:)
This looks wonderful! Painting the frames all one color really does the trick.
I recently saw in a magazine a hallway filled with framed pictures. The frames were all painted red! It worked!
looks great!
I am tired of my walls and need to do something different, why don't you come over and do the same thing at my house too?
:)
I love the pictures! They look great. Love the idea of how you printed them on watercolor paper, that is a great idea!
I love it! And the cost is right up my alley! I have a "wall of black frames" as well. I love the look of huge, chunky, black frames. They look so great!
Love if you could stop by my blog for a fun give away! Ends tonight at midnight! Have a great night...alittleknickknack.blogspot.com
