HALL OF FrAMES

CopyKat, copyKat, I’m such a copyKat.  You probably already knew that!
I TOTALLY copied this frame wall from bloggers like Nester,DSC_0199-298x450

0Foyer-Wall-21and here’s another beautiful one in black   from Classically Amber, don’t you love how they go all the way to the ceiling?
your home only better A Martha Stewart version, I love the mix of round and square.

Cottage Instincts has frames and mirrors, Gorgeous!
Here’s my wall. It’s the hallway. I had other things hanging here before but never put anything back after it was repainted a few years ago. The frames add lots of interest and some architectural detail to the drab hallway.

I might add more and take some all the way to the ceiling. That should  make the ceiling seem higher.

This corner would be the perfect spot for some branches, don’t you think?
I didn’t bother to arrange them on the floor to see if I liked how they looked or make templates to see how they fit on the wall?  I just grabbed the biggest one and started nailing. Did I mention that I have holy walls, er….holey walls.

Thrift shops and yardsales are where most of them came from and I scored a whole bunch from a free  box sitting outside a thrift shop.  If you have any art work you’re tired of, you could take it apart and reuse the frame. Most of mine are wooden but some are plastic, it doesn’t matter after they’re painted.

If you have a wall that needs something, this is a cheap way to fill it up! It’s frugal decorating for certain. Have you decorated with frames?

    Love, love, love this! It's okay to be a copyKat when you do it so well! In fact, I may be copying you! I have a blank wall that would be perfect for frames. Thanks for the inspiration!

    That is really cute, love the idea. I can picture doing this in my daughter's room with all the frames a nice bright pink.

    I haven't done this myself, Debra! I like it in yours and the others homes. I think my hubby would have a heart attack if I put nails in the walls to hang up empty frames! Especially after the spackling and painting we did last year, when we were going on the market {which we will be again next year}.

    beautiful!

    Yes, I have and do. I think I saw the idea years ago in some magazine or other. I have not tried this many frames, which is a look I really like.

    I’ll be the first to say it – I do not care for this trend. With so many gorgeous photos of loved ones – I just couldn’t leave the frames empty. :)
