Frame collage


I get a lot of inspiration from just observing, then modifying.  This one is a twist on something I saw in PotteryBarn.  Instead of using (and buying) all matching frames, I just took all my old unmatching frames, painted them matching black, and put sepia tone pictures in them.  I put this in my entry way, which is where the initial idea was in PotteryBarn.  Very cost effective.  Oh, and the big center picture is actually the Family Proclamation.  I used wordart to make some of the key words bigger and printed it out on my computer in a different format than what is standard distribution. I glued it to foam board, (which had been painted black, too), then had B build a frame for it out of moulding. The picture of the Arizona Temple right beside it was drawn by my sister.

Summer, this looks great! I love the family picture of you guys framed with your proclamation. I wish I had a fun family picture like that. So great. (I love flipping through PotteryBarn, too!)

Are you guys surviving all the crazy weather in the East lately?

Ha!! I found you! Love the headboard. I still can't figure out how you did it. You'll have to show me how in the world you did that. It looks awesome! All your projects do!
