Designing Divas

So this was my problem:  After years of putting up family pictures, by the time we moved into our current home I had a large collection of pictures and frames. My kids love the pictures of themselves and their sibblings lining the walls.  But I don't, it drives me crazy, too many different colors, too much mishmash.  I love the look of  all the same or similar frames on the wall but I didn't have the budget to go out and buy all new frames.  I decided I would use the frames I had.  I painted all of my frames white with some paint I had leftover from painting the trim in my house, distressed them and then added all kinds of embellishments I have collected over the years (garage sales, friends, thrift stores,and furniture which had been junked).  I also reprinted my pictures in a black and white/sepia/washed out colors format. I! now love my family pictures and the wall in my livingroom
