Here's what the living room looked like before the makeover.
I laid all the frames and art work down on the ground first to get an idea of how I wanted to lay it out. I measured the wall and then taped out the space on the floor. It ends up shifting from your original idea, but it's a good starting off point.
Ladder is up on the wall! I got this old vintage ladder at a flea market for $30. It makes for a great statement piece as a bookshelf.
Frames going up up up!
Try and space your frames evenly and create an anchor horizon line, so that frames look they follow a cohesive design.
I purchased this chair (also on Craigslist) and paid to have it reupholstered. It's super comfortable.

Can't say I'm totally fussed about the dead animal on the wall.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I want to paint my bedroom a soft yellow. What color was the wall before you painted it? Love the ladder idea.
Great job on your wall. I'm especially interested in the ladder. Did you take it apart first, if so how would I do that? I also want to use a ladder for my winter throw blankes.
