First, I must say, this isn’t really my project. This is Matt’s project. Inspired by a few things, including the jewelry boards we’ve made before, but equally by this pin from a house tour on Design Mom, I asked Matt if he would make me a large board for our dining room where we could hang photos. Matt was more than equal to the task and worked at this diligently in the bits of spare time he comes up with. It is a very nice frame and the chicken wire is recessed (rabbited) into the back of the frame so it all hangs nicely on the wall. It looks even better in person than in this photo.
I love any photo display solutions that are easy to change out. Frames are nice and all, but I am terrible about going through the effort to pull them down, open them up and change out the photos. Then our house ends up with tons of photos of the kids at one age because that was the last time I did photo framing. And displays like these go very well with our house’s design aesthetic. This is in fact, replacing one such display, our photo line. It was great … but I think this is better.
I won’t even begin to tell you what Matt did in his woodshop to accomplish this because I have no idea. But you could achieve a similar look by using canvas stretchers (from your art supply store) as we have done with our jewelry boards. You glue them together, stain, attach chicken wire to the back and hang. Voila!
A huge shout out and hug to my awesome hubby for making this happen!!
