My latest Project ... this wall!

I knew I wanted to use this wall to display a cute picture of my girls in some of my cute outfits, but I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to do it.

I looked at a few blogs and finally decided on doing a gallery wall. I was super excited to do this project!!!

Ashley took the cutest pictures of my girls and I wanted to display them just right!

First thing I did was head to the D.I.

When you need 10 frames that can get super expensive so the D.I. Was PERFECT!!!

I tried to look for frames that already had Mattes with them so I didn't have to worry about that added expense.

I had an idea in mind before I went, so I knew which sizes I was looking for.

Most of the Frames were around 2.00 some as low as .75!

Total spent $20.00 (that includes an umbrella too!)

After collecting all the frames I needed, I laid them all out to arrange them how I was going to arrange them on the wall. I did this to make sure I had everything in place before any holes were put in my newly painted walls!

once I decided on the lay out next came the fun part ...PAINT!!!

I wanted to keep it simple so everything was painted white (including the mattes)

While the paint was drying I cut out papers to tape to the wall to figure out the layout on the wall! I made the mistake of cutting the size if the glass not the size of the frame so I did end up doing this part twice!
