Frame Wall {Part 2}

Well, here it is. I wrapped the small rectangle in jut but you can't see it in the picture. I spray painted two of the frames heirloom white, and left the other ones as is.
I forgot to take a picture of the wall empty, but I did snap this one once I remembered.

I am going to look for a long, skinny rectangle frame and paint it black and hang it on the right hand side to even it out.
I may still add some smaller frames inside a couple of these...we'll see.

Frame Wall {Part 1}

I have a huge open part of my living room wall that has been driving me crazy for a long time. It is up kind of high so I never knew what to do with it. I've thought about some kind of metal art that you see at home decor stores, but even a big piece wouldn't be big enough to not look lonely on that empty wall. I saw a blog post the other day where someone did a frame wall going up their staircase.
I went to some thrift stores today and got some frames. They ranged from $0.50 to $7 for the biggest used one. The big brown/black one was 80% off at Hobby Lobby!

I'm thinking maybe it originally had glass in it and maybe it broke? I don't know, all I know is it's HUGE and was only $13.99!! Score!!

Now the debate is to paint or not to paint? I know there are a few I am not painting...like this new one, but some of the smaller, lighter wood I am thinking of painting. Not sure what color and it's giving me decorator's anxiety thinking about it. I have started wrapping the smallest rectangle frame in natural jute and it's gonna be super cute! I can't wait to figure it out and hang them up!
