project one: phase I

-there was a blank space/wall above my bed so I decided to fill it with frames...

-my inspiration came from here, here, and here


-the journey started with a trip to a local thrift shop to find not only some good deals but some really beautiful old frames with tons of character. They were super ugly gold colours so I sprayed them a soft white. 









 ^^its super important to know where you want the frames before you start making holes in the wall. I would suggest laying out a pattern that makes sense to you and that you love^^




^^I changed my arrangement about 50+ times! It almost took me all day...but finally I decided on the arrangment above^^

Phase II: covering the whole wall behind the frames in (get ready for it)....WALLPAPER! This is my next new project so stay tuned...
