Beach Bathroom Picture Walls

This project was totally out of my comfort zone!

I have always loved the picture collages

that I see in blogs and magazines....

but I could never bring myself to do one in the house.

It's just so much random-ness in one spot..

 it goes completely against my personality disorder

of having to have everything lined up and symetrical

But I wanted to do one...so I thought perhaps

if I stuck to one color frame, black and white

pictures and a theme for the photos

I might be okay

(some of these pictures aren't the best..

it's hard to take pictures in a small space

I had to stand in the bathtub)

First thing we did was go through mountains of

pictures that we have taken over the years

while at the beach and picked out our favorites

Then we took a quick trip to Ikea and

bought 28 picture frames in two different styles

and two different sizes

Ikea

Ikea

After copying the pictures in black and white

and placing them in the frames we mapped

out the wall with pieces of paper cut

to the size of the picture frame

To be honest I was totally going to skip this part..

SOOOO glad I didn't! It made everything

so much easier.

What's that saying?

Go big or go home

So I fiqured if I'm going to do it..

I might as well go big!

So we continued the frames around the bathroom

And we have more room over on this wall

So when I buy more frames we can continue around



It's taken a little getting use to

But now I love the picture walls

I'm so glad that I went out

of my comfort zone and did it!

p.s Daffodils are out...go get some!
