It only took 14 months, but...

I *finally* put up some wedding photos. The problem is, I have all these ideas for the walls, but Chris won't help me execute them. He wants me to do it myself, but I get frustrated and give up. I have been eyeing up this pin for about a year:

Finally I bought the frames, selected the pictures and gathered the letters. I decided on (2) 8X10, (4) 5X7 and (4) 4X6. Then came the overwhelming part-placement. So I took out a roll of wrapping paper the width of my wall and taped it design side down on my floor.

Then I played around with placement and rearranged the pictures on the paper until I was happy with how they looked. After that, I traced each photo, marked a spot where the nail should go and wrote on the paper which picture it was. After that, I taped the paper on the wall to figure out how high I wanted the pictures to be.

Then I just pounded the nails right thru the paper and peeled it off. I hung all the photos and used a level to straighten everything. Admittedly, the letters themselves are not the most straight, but I'm happy with them for now. Maybe one day I'll find the motivation to fix them up a little.

 

The hallway before, looking sad.

 

The entryway after, I love it!
