Photo Wall DIY

We recently moved into a new home, and so I’ve been unpacking and decorating. I knew right away that I wanted to put up a wall of photos in our dining room, but wasn’t sure how I wanted to go about it. After much Pinterest scouring, I decided to take our old frames (we are on a budget here!) and buy a few cans of spray paint to spruce them up.

Here's what we started with

We chose gold, green, and metallic blue to match a fabulous painting Mark and I found at our favorite thrift store. My mom and I got to work, and I have to say, spray painting is a lot more fun than anticipated!

To fit in our shiny “new” frames I went online to Shutterfly and chose photos. We’ve easily taken a thousand photos of Gianna since she’s been born but have managed to print out very few. This was a great opportunity to do that, as well as print out some of our wedding photos!

And drum roll please . . . .

The finished product!
