I've been Framed!

This past weekend... between ripping 4 layers of tile floor up, amongst other master bathroom reno shenanigans [yes I really did just say that], I somehow managed a trip to the store. It was Sunday and the reno of the shower was complete. I was completely pooped however I wanted to get out of the house. If anything, just for a little while.

So with really no direction of where or what I wanted to do, I went ahead and stopped at a few of the local stores. One store being Wal-Mart and I just want to put this out there on the record. For all of you to know. I completely, with every ounce of my being, hate and despise Wal-Mart. I think the fact that a gigantic warehouse that sells anything from ground beef, furniture, diapers, tools, faux foliage and 47" Flat screen TV's, just maybe creeps me out a little... and than to top it off you end up having to wait in a line the size of a Target Parking lot, just to pay for a measly bag of socks.

But... I was bored and figured to waste time I mine as well just walk around. No harm, no foul right? ...and no I didn't end up buying a pack of socks....

What I did buy were some craptastical frames for $3.00 a pop. The frame themselves measured 8x10 [although in true Wal-Mart fashion, I don't think they really measured that size]. They were a metallic type color. Not to bright or anything but almost like gold met silver and had a love child color.

Well with my obsession with pictures and frames and spray paint, that little light bulb quickly went off in my head and the very spot I thought of was the wall that the large sofa is on.

That would be the wall that I am talking about. I never really had any energy or ideas for that wall, so for the time being I had 3 large frames above the sofa. The black however just seemed to harsh... Granted you might take one look at the sofa and think it's black, however it's not. It's actually a mix between a dark blue and a gray color.

Out with the old and in with the new wall gallery!

A collection of some pretty black and white photographs. Some taken by yours truly and others taken from royalty free image sites. Printed on 5x7 photo paper and than attached to thick, white cardstock paper. Frames I spray painted with Rustoleum flat white spray paint.

Overall it looks a lot better and makes the room feel more cozy [seeing as how the wall isn't so bare anymore].

Now it's time to spruce up the sofa's a bit and put some new and improved pillows. Brighter, more fun, pillows!

So what are your thoughts on Gallery Walls? Love em? Hate em? Never really thought about it? Do you have any gallery walls in your own home?
