Mini Gallery Wall

If she can hide a light switch by framing it then I can hide my thermostat, right?

I found this frame in my stash. I love how detailed it is and thought painting it black would bring out the details even more. I bought it at about a year ago at a yard sale for .50 cents.

I took the back off using a craft knife. Then spray painted it using the oil rubbed bronze paint I got in my stocking for Christmas.

And hung it up framing my thermostat. Okay, I guess it’s not really hiding the thermostat, but it looks a lot prettier.

It looked kind of lonely on the wall so I decided to make a mini gallery wall using pictures of my kids I already had framed. The frames were already black so I didn’t even have to paint any of them.

I love these pictures of my 4 younger kids. They have been in my bedroom for years, but I don’t think I was appreciating them much there. I just wasn’t noticing them anymore.

They needed to be in a new place. I love them on the little wall right outside my bedroom.

Hubby really likes it too. What do you think?

    They have that idea on Pinterest floating around, too! But, that one has a little door over it to cover up garage opener or alarm. I like how you’ve done that – very clever 🙂

    That’s awesome! I’ve seen similar ideas but I really like how you used similarly sized frames and the b&w photos. It really helps hide the thermostat but it’s still readily accessible. Love it! TFS

    What a great idea! I have frames all around my thermostat but never thought to give it a frame of it’s own. It’s fabulous! Thanks for sharing over at Weekend Warrior. 🙂

    Love this idea! We have the same thing at our place and I have been thinking of what to do with it.
