FAMILY PHOTO WALL ART

For those of you who know me... you know I have an irrational fear of putting holes in the walls.
CRAZY, RIDICULOUS AND IRRATIONAL!!

This fear makes it difficult for me to decorate my house. Here we are at 3 years and I still have mostly bare walls.

I HAVE BIG PLANS TO FIX THIS!

 This is a hallway that you see coming in through my front door on the way to my kitchen. When we moved in our original thought was to buy a gigantic picture that would look good in that alcove. I spent 2 years looking. I could not find one that I liked enough to spend outrageous amounts of money on. So then this thought came to me when my friend brought me over the vinyl FAMILY for another project, (we decided that our family name  would work better,) and another friend said she wanted to take our pictures.

I achieved this look by finding 2 11X14 size frames at my local dollar store, using 3 8X10 frames I already had, and picking up a 12X16 frame at Hobby Lobby when frames were 50% off.

I laid out the frames and decided the placement that I liked and then started hanging them.  I triple checked to make sure everything was centered in the alcove as well as lined up symmetrical with  the stuff around it, (and still have 2 extra holes in the wall.)

For the 3 frames that are layered on top of the other frames I made sure to use and EXTRA long nail, like a 1.5" or 2".  To make sure that I could still have them sturdy enough to hold the frame.

My crafty genius of a bestie provided the FAMILY vinyl, and I cut out the Andrew and Ashley using my Cricut.

I absolutely LOVE how this arrangement turned out and love to walk past it every day!

Hopefully soon I can finish all the rest of my BIG PLANS!!
