{New and Good... A Picture Wall}

i love the way our picture wall was before.


{old pic to refreash your memory}

but when we painted the walls, i knew it was time for soemthing new.
i wanted it to be a bit more random and colorful.
then i saw this photo



it was on someone's pinterest page...but i can't remember who??:)
i loved everything about it...the colors...the randomness...exactly what we were looking for.
so i copied it.:)
kind of.

i bought almost all of the frames at walmart and target.
i went for the most inexpensive ones i could find because i knew i would be painting them.

once i had bought what felt like a gazillion frames, i started working on the arrangement.
i just laid it on the floor during nap time and played with it till i had it just right.
it was actually fun...kind of like building a puzzle.
i took a quick picture then cleaned it up.


i printed the picture and used that to plan what colors and photos would go where.

choosing the paint was tricky.
i spent many an hour in front of that huge wall of acrylic paints at hobby lobby and michael's.


i love a good project mess.


once all the photos were in the right frames, we laid everything out on the floor again.
hanging everything was tricky. (especially since it was 9 o clock pm  the day before janey's party...sorry baby!)
the fact that things were a bit more random and unmeasured was good though.
dave started with the bottom line since we knew we wanted that to be level and then we just built up.

........ta-da.......


i think it looks amazing in the room and adds just the right pop of color.


i think it will be pretty easy to add to as well.
i would like to go a bit more up...and out.


i was thinking about a pretty bunting over the top...what do you think?? too much??
maybe underneath? maybe on the fireplace instead????
who knows:)


one of my new favorite views in the house!!:)


here are some of the goodies i used.
you are my sunshine print (looks like she's on vacation!:) )
you are loved print - free when i purchased the sunshine one.

  5. I love it!!! It makes me want to paint all my picture frames :)
    Definitely add some bunting to the fireplace and it will be so colorful!

  6. I love love love it!!! Great work Cindy, oh your home is so pretty and inviting and filled with love!!
    The bunting would look great even above the pics and I like how you have room to add to your wall. Isn't it more satisfying when you stand back and look at your own craftiness and all the personal touches, it really makes a home I think.
    I have recently done something like this, but I am one thing away from taking the pics. Thanks for the links for the free printables xo

  11. Girl, I need your energy and motivation. First you organized all of your photos from your computer onto disks, etc, and now your photo wall is done! I LOVE it. It is beautiful and fun and so very happy. What an amazing job you did. I will probably come back and look at it several times, because I love it so much.

    ps. On your thankful list, I also used to love when Boyd sang in his monitor. So sweet. :)
