picture perfect

You would think that after being married for 3 years we would have some wedding pictures up somewhere in the house right?? Wrong. I found an inspiring picture in the Ikea magazine of a picture frame wall. I decided its time for an art project. So I took myself down to Ikea picked out the cutest picture frames and got to work. Here's what I did...

The only cute ones they had were white and unfortunately the walls in our apartment are white. Plan B, spray paint!


After the paint was dry, I taped computer paper together making it large enough to fit all the frames. Next I  traces the frames onto the paper. Previously seen on HGTV.


Then I taped the paper to the wall and hammered the nails straight through the paper. I put the frames up to make sure it looked OK. Then I gently ripped the paper from the wall leaving the nails in place to reveal.....


Neatly spaced picture frames without measuring, re-measuring or having to nail a million holes in the wall.
