Hanging My Hallway Photo Project

Casa Community — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 05:00:42 PDT

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member designingmainstreet from the Su Casa group:

I finally found the time to get my butt back to Ikea and purchase the rest of the photo frames that we needed for the hallway project. The first step was cutting out scraps of catalogs the size of the frames. I then arranged these on the wall using scotch tape until I found a pattern that looked right to me. I tried not to fill the whole wall. I like that this arrangement gives me some room to grow in the future. Then after a minor setback in finding the correct hardware for the frames, I was able to hang the photos in the order I had already laid out. Keep reading to see what the photo wall looks like!
