During a recent House Tour (we'll be showing you the full tour tomorrow!) we spotted this simple method of making a vintage photograph — or any wall hanging for that matter — really stand out from the wall. You might be surprised by the method...
Make Your Photos Pop Off the Wall!
It's just a cut out circle of tissue paper. In this case we think the use of tissue paper makes this work because you get to see a hint of the wall color blending through the tissue paper. It certainly helps that the photo is fabulous. This particular example of a circle, also groups the two photos into one more-cohesive display. A larger circle could be used to visually unite multiple frames/objects/artwork on a wall.
You'll see lots of these simple but fun touches in tomorrow's tour!

Hate it - Unless Cheesy and Tacky is the look you're going for here...

I'm sorry, but this looks like garbage.

Yep, trashy. Fabric starched to the wall, on the other hand...

I think it's neat - it looked like paint at first, but the tissue paper is so much easier, and more changeable...

It made the baby cry! Seriously... things just look amiss all over this small vignette.

I really like the idea, maybe I might execute it a little different though.

I thought it was a really bad paint job.

Ugh.
And those picture frames need to be replaced, entirely.
