Wall of Fame July 27, 2010 DIY, Home Decor, Our House, Thrift Store Finds, Tutorials 4 Comments 6502 As our bedroom makeover continues (read more here), I am slowly incorporating new projects into the room. I’ve been working on a sort of gallery wall for above the bed which will feature some monogram art and black and white pictures in white frames. But the frames didn’t start out white, I collected them at Goodwill and other thrift stores and spray painted them for a cohesive look. After painting, I bought some mattes and printed out some of my favorite pictures. Then I laid them out in several different arrangements before settling on one I liked. It’s a little bit asymmetrical, which I think adds interest. Of course it ended up a bit different on my wall. I’d recommend getting a large sheet of paper or piece of cardboard and laying out your frames on it. Mark all the hangers, and then you can transfer to your wall easily for a perfect match. I didn’t have anything large enough so I just decided to wing it and ended up with this: I think I’ll add some smaller things like a wedding invitation and other trinkets when I decide how to mount them. But for now, I love it! ***Linked Up*** 4 Responses Janet July 27, 2010 Very nice! I can’t get over the difference in all the rooms you have been working on. It has really come together nicely.
