Two Month Challenge Project #2: Picture Wall
We have lived in our house juuuuuuuuuuuust short of two years. Hanging on the wall in the master bedroom? Absolutely nothing. Nada. For two years. Even our friends who pet-sat noticed and commented about it!
So I went foraging through the house for picture frames to put things in and hang, with the idea in mind that I wanted all the frames to be the same color. I found a couple bigger ones in black, so I chose black as my frame color. I dug a couple ugly frames out of our going-to-Salvation-Army pile and gave them a couple coats of black satin-finish spray paint; I even repurposed an old candle base as a round frame (but more on that later).
I picked up two “new” frames from the Life’s Treasures thrift store nearby for a couple dollars, spray painted them as well, and got to hanging. (Pssst… want to know what’s in the frames? Check it out in this post.)
Before banging nails into the walls and in a rare moment of planning ahead, I laid them out on the bed first to get an idea of the arrangement I wanted, starting with the largest piece in the center. Frames that aren’t wired for hanging are hung on two parallel nails spaced a couple inches apart to keep them level and stable.
Project #2 is done!
