I wanted to layer some artwork over my polka-dot walls to make sure the room didn't seem like a place you'd bring your stuffed animals to sip make-believe tea. After taking some inspiration from this post, I printed some images that I took in the U.K. in poster size at Kinko's (it was about $8 a sheet). I love that they're not glossy and that the resolution is a little gritty!
I pressed some metal clips into sticky tack to hang them. No holes in the wall and no need for a clunky frame!
Aren't you glad you wrapped that cake plate in 75' of bubble wrap?! It goes great w/ the dots and all is de-feminized a bit by the auto-themed posters. Too much fun for one girl to be having!
ReplyDeleteOMG - genius! i am definitely going to try this out! i have an empty wall begging for lovely photos; i wanted to create a gallery wall but right now it's a little out of my budget.
ReplyDelete{the wall is huge and even cheap frames are $$$ for the amount of pictures i want.}
Such a great great idea! Your photos look amazing and what a fantastic price for wall art. Well played.

Genius. As per usual.
ReplyDeleteThe images look pretty clear. Were your photos any specific size or resolution?
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey - I put it into Photoshop and found out what its maximum dimensions were in inches (hit command+option+i), then put it into an InDesign document at its maximum size. I think if you take a raw image to Kinko's they can do this for you!
