My Art Wall....the latest incarnation

Happy Monday Ya'll!!

Seriously that's the only time you'll here me say that. I may be from Texas but I don't say ya'll. And I'm only doing so now because I've had so little sleep. Yay for the early shift at work!

But on to the real subject of this post. Art Walls. I love me some art walls. I collected prints and postcards and cards and the like all through college, and so when I moved into my apartment had a trash bag full of potential wall coverings. And since I'm a grown up now, I decided hanging pictures with ticky tac was no longer an option and wanted to frame them. And so I did. And it has had several incarnations. Right now I'm on the third.

Here's the first.

The Christmas decorations of course aren't a normal part of the wall :)

And it wasn't until I was putting together this one, that I realized I hadn't taken a picture of the second incarnation. But anyways, here's the third....


Sorry had to take a picture of Rainbow Fish. Because Rainbow Fish makes everyone happy :) 

But I didn't get the idea for this myself. I wish I were that creative, but sadly I'm not. I got the idea from the awesome people at Young House Love (have I mentioned how awesome they are. Plus the have the most adorable baby) 

They did this awesome hallway... and to make it better...it's on both sides

But anyways this is mostly to show that anyone can do this, no matter how small the budget. Every single frame I bought on sale. Most for $5 at Michaels. And most of the 'art' I already had, and the rest were postcards, printouts, and awesome pics taken by my creative BF.

But I'll keep going on the wall till it's as awesome as that one. And covers as much of the wall as theirs. And that's all I've got for today! I'm off to go to bed soon so I can get up uber early again tomorrow. :)
