Ok, remember my last post when I died and went to Goodwill Heaven? Well, this is what I have been working on this morning, but I need your help!
A few things about this picture. It space appears smaller than it really is. It measures about 8 feet in length and is 6 feet high, it is going to cover a large area of my living room wall. I have more frames, but none that are the old, gold, and gaudy, which is the look I am going for. I like that they are not the exact same color of oldness and that some will be open without pictures in them, some will have pictures of the family (the pictures you see in the frames with glass are NOT staying), and that there is even a mirror thrown in. I am going simply for layout here, so help me out!
I sent the picture to a couple of friends and they love it, but thought maybe a pop of color on one or two frames would be cool?! Like a kelly green or something to mix in modern with old. And the other girlfriend wasn't so sure about those frames off to the top left (which I may end up switching and putting the mirror on top and the open frame on the bottom with those little ones anyway)!
What do you think?! The only thing I am not willing to do is paint them all! I like the vintage look, but would love your suggestions or would love to see a picture collage wall you have done!
***it is all wrong and has been completely rearranged about a thousand times! The hubs is hanging it all up on Saturday, as he doesn't want to hang up a bunch of frames after he gets home from work, and it will be hours of work, so I can't be too disappointed or really blame him!!!
Thanks for all of the advice!

Hmmm, I say paint the tiny square frames bright colors, and on the left, move the tiny frame that is outside to the top of the other two small frames.
I also say put a bit more space in between all the frames too. I just did a photo wall and I cut wax paper out the same size as my frames, used a marker to mark where my nail would go and taped the wax paper on the wall and rearranged it until I was happy with it. Then all I had to do was hammer in my nail where my dot was and rip the wax paper away.
You already know I LOVE it, but I do think it needs a splash or two of color. I'm going to ask Lia if she will take a quick picture of her frame collage in her front entry way & send it to me....Hold please...
i like the idea of color to...and modern with the old....and the mirror sounds very cool to...
What about... one color pop on the medium goldish frame on the top row, coming from the left just past that first cluster of 3. Then another color again on the Top. ( maybe too much top) This time coming from the right in the lower left of the cluster of 4.
Just a quick thought. :)
You totally scored!! The only suggestion I would give is to maybe switch a couple of them on the top row to horizontal and maybe add a pop of color? Check out mine to see what I mean.
