Just a little project for this Sunday that is super easy! Before Covid, I would frequent Hobby Lobby and shop the clearance isles. Have you see the frames with no backing or glass for sale there? I have picked up several frames that were all under $5.00! The outer gold frame was $3.00! How awesome is that?
The actual frame the picture is in came from Walmart. I believe it was $4.00, it is a 5x7 frame. Since the picture I wanted in it was not a 5x7 photo, I used scrap book paper as my mat for the photo. The medallion above the frames came from Architectural Depot, I have purchased several of these from them since they are low cost "Fancy Pants" items for our home.
I purchased many picture hangers from Amazon so I can hang all sorts of things on our walls. I think I purchased a lot of 100. Have you noticed many items meant to hang on the wall do not always have them on the back? How aggravating! I always found I was excited to hang my purchase and then no hanger, so I will not be unprepared again!
I hung the picture with the photo of my Grandpa first, then I eyeballed the second frame around the existing frame and hung it. I could have used a little more space on the one side of the frame, but I think for the most part, I was pretty close. I then added the medallion above for extra detail.
I wasn't sure what I wanted on this wall, but I love old black and white photos and I really enjoy surrounding us around our loved ones being an old soul and all... my Grandpa working on a car isn't something you would think would be in the dining room, but I love it so it stays!
