Custom Frames

With Christmas over, packed up, and put away...my house is feeling very empty with very empty walls.  One wall in particular really bugs the heck out of me.  For a good month it was disguised by a Christmas tree but now the Christmas tree is gone and the empty wall is back to bugging the heck out of me.  Its right next to our TV in the living room so I find myself staring...resenting...cursing...instead of enjoying whatever TV show is on at the moment.  Enough is enough.  Bugging the heck out of me is one thing but taking away from my beloved TV enjoyment is crossing the line!!  So Ive decided I would like to do one of those "each frame is a little different but still looks cohesive" collages (yes, that IS their technical name) using our wedding pictures.  I have yet to have prints made of our wedding pictures....158 days later.  No time like the present!  Here is my inspiration from Pottery Barn:



I love the arrangement, the style, the cohesiveness...love it all.  However Pottery Barn is a litttttttttle out of my price range, so Im sure I will do something similar, but thrifty.  I would really like to have one special, stand out, focal frame but mass produced wedding frames always seem a little...cheesey to me.  Enter The Studio by Danielson Designs.  This website allows you to create your own personalized frames and signs.  You can use their inspirations or come up with your own.  How great would these be for wedding gifts, baby shower gifts, housewarming gifts, etc.??  I love them.  Right now you can receive 20% off by using promo code NEST2010!!  Also, over at Nesting Place, you can enter to win one of two gift cards for Danielson Designs.  I designed two different frames that Im trying to decide between:








Im leaning more towards the first one I think, but not positive.  What do you think??

  1. I completely agree! My mom and I packed Christmas all up (finally on Tues..haha) and our living and dining room is back to looking like we just moved in, with the lock above the mantle as only thing hanging on our walls. I need inspiration....grrr. Definitely photos are needed first. Time to stake out Home Goods and World Market for some wall artwork and odds and ends.

    And YES...the first frame. LOVE IT!!!

  2. Cute! I didn't know you could do this!

    To answer your question abut the birds. They were located with the candles and other figurines at my store.
