The frames are finally up!
Remember I spray painted the frames white in preparation of this? Yeah, I finally put them up two weeks ago.
I really took my time doing this (almost 3 months!) and it is sooo worth it!
I chose my pictures carefully, thought long and hard about the design of the picture mat and tried and photographed many frames arrangement!
And here they are in our hallway. I couldn't be happier with the results!
In case you're wondering, I didn't drill any holes in the wall. Did that before and felt that it was all a bit too messy.
So this time around, I used 3M tapes for frames and they work like a charm!
And since I'm in a sharing (and chatty) mood, this is how I ensure that I get my frames to be exactly where it should.
I arranged everything that I want on that wall on the floor first. I measured the length and width of the wall and mirrored the measurements on the floor. I then measured the centre frame, the one with the heart-shaped inside, in order to make sure that it will be right in the middle of that wall. And when I get that main frame centered, I simply played around with the other frames and went with the ones that I think look the nicest!
Before I started attaching the frames to the wall, I measured again and made a mark for that main frame. After that, I just followed the positioning on the floor and stuck each frame one by one.
Simple, isn't it? A lil bit of math and whole lot of gut feelings!
P/S sorry for the crappy photos, I only realised that my phone camera was dirty when my husband pointed out that my photos turned out blurry! All this while, I thought it was because of the lighting! #totalfail
