So I have
lived in my current home for almost 9 years, with 4 children it should be
covered in photos by now
Instead I have
a photo box, this is filled with all the photos, even the children’s school
pictures,
My house
lacks character, anyone could live here, there’s nothing on the walls and it’s
all a little boring….well it was
I’ve always
loved the idea of having a quote put on the wall and have seen a lot of these
about, they come as a sticker and you just transfer it to the wall you want,
Now what put
me off was:
1: the children
would probably pick at it
2: I can’t
even get one of those phone screen protectors on without hundreds of bubbles
And
3: I didn’t want
it to look like a sticker.
So what I did
was decide to paint it on, first I used pencil so I could get it how I wanted
it, then I went over it with an acrylic paint
When completed
it did look lovely but still a little plain, next I went on the search for some
black frames, I found what I was looking for in Max Spielmans ,I picked up 9
frames of different sizes with prices ranging from £2 - £5.
When I got
home I went through my photos and picked out some of the more precious ones,
like our wedding, first family holiday and some others,
I then
scanned these and changed all the photos to black and white before printing
them out into the sizes I required
I then fixed
these on the wall in a scattered affect,
I must admit
I absolutely adore my photo wall and it
has been a great talking point when people have come around, the whole thing
cost me under £30 and now there’s a little bit of us in this house.
It really looks great, I love it! Great job, congrats.
ReplyDeletelooks lovely x
ReplyDeleteOMG love it, I have a huge family tree message which has picture frames just like this with it x
ReplyDeleteBet that looks lovely, I have seen one that is a painting of a tree and the photos kind of hang from the branches, i think this would look lovely going up a staircase, maybe this might have to be my next project :)
DeleteI love this. It is very much like what I am hoping to achieve on my living room wall.
ReplyDeletewow this is stunning and definately something i would love to have in my home too x
