Over the years have you boxed up old framed photos, storing them away, only to have them take up valuable storage space? Remove those precious photos from their frames, and put them in photo albums/boxes where they belong.
Now, what to do with all those frames? Sort through them, donate the "odd" ones; you know, the ones you (or someone) thought were cute, but really distract from the photo. The rest, (see photo) spray paint all in one color; black was my choice.
Then frame your current (or favorite) photos in these 'new' frames! They will look great grouped together! I had a lot of frames, more than I had current pictures, but I'm sure I will find pictures for them as the year goes on.
Hanging them close together on your wall allows room to expand, "building" a family photo wall!

My husband Chris and I did this exact project at our home in Boulder, CO! We bought the frames from craigslist for $25 and the project turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I also have a stack of old frames that don't quite fit anywhere. Thanks.
