How To: Put Together a Wall of Frames
• Draw a diagram of your desired layout.
• You'll definitely want to read the full instructions on Dooce — partly because it's got more information and partly because it's really funny.

Where can I purchase dark wood frames for a 24x36 print?

Love the layout, does anyone know what frames she used or
know of similar ones?

I love this idea but have never implemented it, as I always get a little dizzy if any frame is even slightly crooked, such as I see in the example above. I had a framed print once that drove me crazy until I realized it was the MAT that was cut crooked...

These are amazing for getting a grouping straight and even.

I bought one about 6 months ago and now, after 3 years of being scared to put a nail in the wall, my walls are gorgeous!

The concept of matching frames set in an imaginary square or rectangle comes and goes over the years, but unless the art is part of a set, e.g. flower photos by the same photographer, the art, particularly smaller pieces, tend to get lost as the larger square or rectangle is visually dominant. I've had pieces for years no one noticed until I got them out of such an arrangement.

I heart Dooce.com.

what if I don't want to buy my picture frames ahead of time? I'm just starting my wall but I still need to acquire the art/photos I want to hang. Can I work from the inside out? Will it still look ok?

jchan,
Re: "Where can I purchase dark wood frames for a 24x36 print?"
I've been really happy with mine from Cost Plus World Market. They have them in store or online:

An easy way to hang this kind of arrangement would be too use mounting squares instead of nails, providing the artwork isn't too heavy.
3M manufactures these - they're available at just about any Target, supermarket, or hardware store.
They're incredibly strong and sticky on both sides, so just afix several to the backside of the frame, position the picture on the wall, and press firmly. ANd they are removable, so repositioning isn't out of the question, and no damage to your wall.
Viola!
p.s. Sorry if you knew about this tecnique already.
