Photo Wall

I’m not sure why this occurred to me today when it’s really dark at 9am (because of the weather), but I thought I’d show off one of the more attention grabbing pieces in my apartment.

This is the longest wall in my dining room.

I’ve been hanging pictures of the musicians I love for as long as I can remember and have had some version of this mixed up display in every one of my apartments. It wasn’t hard to get my bf in on the game and here is our current collection.

Loving the same musicians is something we love about each other, but we’ve made a few concessions, uh uhm, They Might Be Giants . . .

As you can see, I’ll take any kind of frame. These are culled from thrift stores, garage sales, Michael’s, Ikea – the more mixed up, the better.

That whole laying out pieces of paper on the floor thing is a great idea, but I’m just too impatient for that. I just go by feel . . . well, and I have lots of practice.

So, if you have a hobby, passion or maybe even obsession (sure, I’ll own that), pick a little spot and try this out. I promise it will make you smile every time you walk by.

And, the most popular game in our house . . . “Who’s That?!”

Hi, All I can say is I Love It, Love It, Love It. I am soooo happy that I saw your wonderful photo wall. I just happened to be randomly scrolling and came across this idea that you created. I am very inspired because I have also wanted to make a wall similar but with antique and vintage frames with flowers and vases. Only I just was soo unsure how it would turn out. I really love your collection, and you must have been collecting for a longggg time to aquire such a wonderful array of musicians. And great ones from what I can see. I will definitately try my hand and see how my wall turns out. I have left over pine floor that I intended to use for my large wall frame. I see you used wood trim which looks real cool. Thanks for posting such a wonderful inspiration. From Chicago

That’s funny. I always say that about everyone else in my field!
