We've been hanging a few things on the wall lately and trying to fill up the huge space above the couch in the living room. Well, at least we got a start or as Rob says, "Pinterest finally attacked our wall above the couch". We had seen large picture frames in stores similar to what we made, but they were too expensive for us and again Rob made the mistake of saying, "That would be so easy to make!" He should know better than to say that now. ;) The only thing I did was take the pictures from our honeymoon (our attempt at a panorama) to get them enlarged to 8x10's. I cut some thick poster board to back each picture, and bought replacement glass at Hobby Lobby. Rob did all the work of cutting 3 boards from a pallet and nailing them together.
Then we lined up the pictures the way we wanted them and Rob nailed in two small nails below each picture, and one on each side of the picture, to hold the glass in place. We decided that the handle would add a nice touch and we had picked up a whole bag of old fixtures at...you guessed it... a yard sale! So here's the final product...unless we decide to add hinges to the top so it'll look more like an old door.
