Inspiration Frames

If you are like me you have a million frames just lying around waiting to be used.  I love picture frames, but I seem to accumulate them faster than I can use them.  I also have a blank wall in my 'studio' - I use that term loosely.  I love to sew, craft and come up with ideas for new projects, and my messy 'studio' tends to help me loose all of my inspirational papers.  When I look through a magazine or on the internet, I love to clip out pictures or ideas that I want to try sometime.  I thought it would be fun to use my excessive amount of picture frames to help organize my ideas. 

All I did was take out the glass and back part of the frame then I sanded it really well.  I picked out my colors and painted each frame.  All of the frames took at least 3 coats of paints.  I distressed them the same way I did for my dresser redo. 

After you hang the empty frames on the wall, all you have to do is add your inspiration.  I used painters tape to put up my pictures, so it wouldn't peel off the paint on the wall.  It is also really easy to change the pictures as you have more inspiration.

Don't you love that white dress!  I have never tried to come up with my own pattern before, but this dress makes me want to try.  

I am going to add more frames to cover the wall.  It would be so cute to have the whole wall covered with inspiration frames.

This project was so easy, and it was fun going through my folders to pick out what clippings I wanted to use.  Is everyone else as obsessed with clipping out ideas as I am?
