I've always love homes where I can spend my time looking at the walls. The walls tell about the personality of the owners and can create interesting conversation. Husband gifted me the beautiful coffee table book- Creative Walls by Geraldine James for my last birthday and it's inspired me to set up some displays in my house.
Our house is like a giant blank canvas with white walls and very high ceilings ( see above picture and this is after I've added my first display). It provides me with endless spaces to fill. I've been collecting frames of similar colours for a while from garage sales and op shops and decided to create a little wall display in our dining room using aqua and gold frames.
(all frames and the vintage girl picture (except the graduation picture and Grandpa picture) from op shops/garage sales. Prints were a presents and the giraffe changing to the Eiffel tower is a postcard a friend sent from France.)
I love having my own wall of pictures to look at. I just need to thrift about 50 more gold/aqua frames before I can actually create an entire wall of pictures - though I'm not complaining, I love my giant walls.

I actually adore picture walls too. We have a few of them. They take work organizing, though, don't they? I really like yours. It is nicely balanced. Love the vintage girl!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures, especially the one with the girl and her little toy dog! I recently did a post about my picture wall too: http://dinosaurcircus.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/thrifted-finds-wallart-collection.html :)
