Photo Wall

I meant to blog about this project way back in the beginning of July when I actually finished it, but totally forgot and then things just got busy (and our living room got messy and so I didn’t want to take a picture until it was nice and clean). So now the living room is clean, things are a little less crazy, and I finally remembered I never posted this. :)

It took me forever to decide how to arrange our living room furniture when we moved in and then when I finally decided I had this nice big empty wall/walkway a couple feet behind the couch (there is a door to the left of those photos that goes out to our patio so there sort of has to be a walkway there) that was perfect for a gallery display of photos. I didn’t actually come up with the idea for this photo wall, I saw it on Tara’s blog and she actually got the idea from Erin’s blog… It was just perfect though for the space we have and it is so much fun to have my own photos on our wall instead of some art from Ikea or something! :)

Details: The frames are 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 Ikea clips frames. I added the white borders in photoshop and then had the photos printed through a pro lab. (I actually had one photo printed with borders & without and decided I really liked the borders so when I ordered the rest I included borders.)

I hope everyone has a good weekend! I have really enjoyed posting these last 3 days in a row, so I will be back on Monday for sure to post some more! :)

I love the photo wall, too. I saw Tara’s and I think that is the perfect solution for my empty dining room walls. now, just to get the right photos.
