framed up.

for the last couple of months, i've had 'fix up frames' on my monthly to-do list...
well a few weekends ago, i finally got to it!

i pulled all of the frames off the wall (i thought i'd taken a photo of them when i'd hung them, but i just went through my entire photo reel on my phone, no dice!), pulled all of the stuff out of them and then spread them out on the lawn in the backyard...



a few coats with some spray paint (i couldn't believe how sore my forearm was the next day after spraying for such a short amount of time, i could never be a graffiti artist ;D) and a good week of drying time after i dragged the tarp into the garage...



i put everything back together and hung them back on the wall...

the frames were originally all different colours and it frankly looked a bit of a mess... i think it looks much better with all different shapes and sizes but with a cohesive colour scheme!



oh i painted these mirror frames too, the larger, round one was gifted to me when my next door neighbour sold up and moved out a couple of years ago, and the smaller, rectangular one was on a neighbours front lawn as hard rubbish. both were a fairly awful gold colour but now they're beautiful glossy white!
i've already told bb that when we buy a house of our own, there will be a coloured (or wall-papered) feature wall with lots of different shaped mirrors with white frames. i better keep an eye out for some more ;)

what do you think of feature walls? do you have lots of things hanging on your walls?
