Twelve years in our old house and I had pictures all over the walls. Five years in our new house and I only had photo walls on walls I was planning tearing down or completely redoing eventually. Now that all of the major renovations are done, it’s time to start adding artwork to some of my blank walls. I’ve been eyeing a particular spot for a large photo grid wall.
Blank Slate
With the last name Fish, I find fish decor things fun. So when a friend gave me this cute fish picture, in colors that work in my house, I hung it right away.
But, the room has completely evolved since I hung the fun fish painting. Months ago I found a bunch of unfinished frames on clearance.
A craft room destash challenge this month was the perfect push I needed.
Time to better fill this large blank slate.
Photo Grid Wall
I used a very light bleached oak stain and two coats of paste wax. The difference isn’t very noticeable in the picture, but I love the light finish.
Part of what has held me back in accomplishing this is my inability to select the right photos. But getting the frames hung, will force me fill them!
First I decided on my layout.
Using a scrap piece of wood enabled me to easily space the frames. I love that they are square but hold a standard 5×7 picture.
