Guest Bedroom Frame Wall
A couple of months ago I posted before and after pictures of my
guest bedroom. Though I’m happy with the main wall, the other side of the room is a bit boring. So now, my after picture becomes my before picture.
.
I wanted to make a frame wall, so I started collecting frames. Really random ones.
.
.
Then, while shopping at HomeGoods, I found these place mats. They’re felt-ish and I started thinking about all the things I could do with them and my random frames.
.
I didn’t look at some of the frames very closely before I bought them (at 90% off you snatch and grab!)….
turns out some of them were NOT meant to come apart.
.
My little helper did his arts and crafts while I did mine. Okay, that’s a lie. He colored for long enough for me to take this picture then started munching on the crayons. I then proceeded to spend way too long picking wax pieces out from between his teeth. I know, he looks so innocent….
.
Here’s what I came up with!
.
.
Here are the frames individually….they look a little different than the before pictures!

This next one deserves some explanation. It is a birthday card that I sent to my husband when he was in Afghanistan. On the inside it says “It’s your birthday, so take it easy. RELAX. Wear a bucket on your head. Whatever.” When I read it in the store I thought it was hilarious. My husband thought the same thing (when he got it in the mail months later). He said no one else thought it was funny. So the question is….who here has the terrible sense of humor?
.
.
.
Total cost was about $10. The frames were dirt cheap and everything else I had on hand. The placemats were the most expensive at $8, but since I only used one I’m only counting it as $2 (I’ll use the rest somewhere else). My blog, my rules!
I love that “Today is the day” print! :) Nice collection.
I love the arrangement, so fabulous! stopping by from Keeping it Simple.

Hehe. You had me at the crayon wax in the teeth. :0
A fun collection that relates well to one another. I like the piece with the numbers too.

Ahaha! But Mom, crayons are meant to be eaten! Haha! Poor guy! Love how the wall turned out! So cute! Oh, and yes, I have the same terrible sense of humor. I used to stock up on cards to send to Chris – I actually still have a few and I think they're hilarious!
I love all of the colors. I am working on a wall in my craft room, so this inspires me.
I am following you now.

i had a frame mishap this weekend-i was prying a mirror off, and it wasn't pretty.
Very cool; I love the way it turned out!

Loving this frame wall display. I like that not only are the frames different, but all the art is as well! Yet you still managed to tie it all together. Great job. Found you from Lines Across My Face!
Your wall turned out beautiful and I love the color scheme!
P.S. Thank you so much for linking up at Home Savvy today!
Very cute! I love the yellow and grey together and all those fun designs! :)
Super cool. I especially like the ones that are 3D, like the roses :)
I love the use of colors and the layout this is fantastic.
I love this look! Really like the way you used the colours and tied it all together!

I love your gallery wall. love the colors. So pretty.
I just love all your frames. I love to collect frames, now you have given me something to do with all of them.
Also, I think that the birthday card was hilarious. It made me laugh!!
I'm glad you put it on the wall!
I love your blog… just found it, and can't wait to explore all the posts.
Creative and resourceful!
You had me at grey and yellow. Grey is my flavor of the moment. I love the entire project-looks super cool, fresh, and chic. The use of the yellow felt placemat is very cool ad out of the box. Very few home dec blog projects really impress me but your project does.
Oh my goodness, so cute! Love the color theme. How creative!
What a fun collage! Love the colors and look of it :)
so cute! I bought that same hobby lobby monogram frame for cents… hoping to reuse it! i love how it turned out even though it broke apart!! maybe i'll have to dig mine out! :)
This is so neat (plus yellow is my favorite coler :))! You did an awesome job. Great blog, am a new follower :).

You did a great job. Love the placemats and how smartly you have used them.

Thank you for providing me with some much needed distraction while I wait to see if this is real or false labor. I've enjoyed looking around and am following. I love your sense of color. Enjoy your little one, oh and that picture of him peeing is just about the best thing EVER!
My best friend sent me the 'Wear a bucket on your head' card for my birthday last week! I too thought it was hilarious. It's on my fridge and it makes me smile whenever I look at it.
Oh my goodness! Loving this wall of frames! I need it…
Man. You need to get to work on your About section! What part of South Texas are you from? I read that on your Crappy $5 table. I was born in San Benito and then moved to central TX when I was 9. I have family in Harlingen and McAllen. :)
Anywho — LOVE this too. I just started a gallery wall in my hallway. I guess it's a gallery hallway then, no? Anyhow. Hobby Lobby has a clearance section that I DIDNOTREALIZE had good frames for cheap!
:D Thanks for the motiviation to continue crafting!
Beautiful job!!!! I love it!!~ Megan
I love your frames! They have given me inspiration and an idea on how I'm going to deal with a sore spot in my basement, that I am currently trying to improve.
