apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Inspiration: Danielle's Photo Wall

8-13-frames.jpgIt seems like everywhere we turn, we see gallery walls. Here's another example of matching frames -- which actually were mismatched until Danielle painted them all white.

That looks very cool! It's almost as if the frame is also serving as a kind of mat around the photo.

LOVE IT! With the white walls and white frames the photos really stand out. Fantastic!

i just started doing this. i wanted to throw a tip out here. there are great 5x7 and 8x10 frames at the 99c store for, you guessed it, 99c!!! unbeatable! just paint them whatever color you want. the 5x7 are actually birch, so i kept it that color for some applications!

This I like! Unlike the gold frames or mismatched frame posts I've seen lately.

Typical long hallway of SF flats. You did a great job in making it more interesting and bright!!!

I need to do something with my hallway its the only area I dislike.

That grey looks very close to what I have in my bedroom, love the the way you used it as a wainscot.

Actually the "before" isn't really all that bad, but the after is luscious.

I'm thinking I might do the same thing, but with frames of different textures, and in a color other than white.

Oh, and those floors are so pretty I want to cry.
