Photo Frame Collage

 I purchased these three frames at Goodwill for a few bucks each, they had the glass and everything with them, but were just an unstained rough oak. But solid oak. Great frames. I painted them black, along with several other wood frames I already had and then used a high lustre lacquer to finish them.
 I got these really nice white double mats for half off at Fred Meyer one day, so they were only $2-$3 a piece.
This was the best collage I could come up with, but I think it works okay and there is finally something taking up space on this huge wall behind our sofa. It really adds a lot of warmth to the apartment.

This was a pretty big project - I went through a lot of spray paint.

To hang the frames I cut out paper templates to tape onto the wall and then marked the location of where the nail would go and that worked out pretty well.
