Thrift Store Gallery Wall

Hi there!

Got your attention?

The Fancy Farmgirls here.

Farmgirl roots,  with a bit of fancy and fun thrown in. 

 

January is the month we get itchin  to change things up.

January is also the month when those December  payments are due.

Oof.

Bad combination.

This calls for making the change while spending very little change. šŸ˜‰

 

So, once upon a time this farmgirl found these cute little antlers for eight bucks at the flea market!

That’s fancy talk for garage sale.:)

Home they did come where they got bedazzled and painted.

Another thing that we like to collect/hoard at the flea is frames.

A box of random frames is a box of possibility!

So a thrifted, budget friendly  gallery wall was born.

There’s a lot of professional ways to measure these out and create templates for where you will place your nails.

or…..

There’s our way.

Husband leaves to work and you bang 34  holes in the wall till you find just the right spot. šŸ˜‰

We laid them out on the floor first to get an idea of where we wanted to place things and then started hanging.

Long live the 80’s geese! 

 

Find a grouping of shapes that’s pleasing to you.  No worries on color coordinated frames.

Paint will fix that, as it does most things in our life. šŸ˜‰

And of course,  every set of antlers needs a little bling!

Picture frames don’t have to hold pictures.

A few we turned into chalkboards that can be changed

and the rest  we simply  used  to add dimension and frame out our antlers and some faux greenery.

Paint takes the hodge podge look to a coordinated look that can fit your style.

  1. love the antlers inside the double frame. awesome idea. i am thinking of using my grandmother’s quilting looms hanging wire on either side, and hanging small knick-knacks from the wire, if you can picture that. It sounds good in my head anyway.
