I was inspired by this gallery wall for my home office so I went for a little visit to my local thrift store to find the frames. I was looking for flat vintage frames in metal and wood.
I picked up all my picture frames and mirror for about $70. It was a steal especially since I did consider buying frames from Etsy but the shipping costs were killer so I'm glad I found my frames locally. Most of the frames ranged from $1 to $7 and the large vintage mirror cost me $23. I first started by cutting out pieces of newspapers in the size of my frames just so I could see how the wall would look before I started pounding nails into the walls. It was a lot easier than I initially thought.
And ta-da! I'm still trying to figure out what to put in some of the frames.... that is a whole another project in itself.
If you are curious, I got my table from Cost Plus World Market, chevron rug from Urban Outfitters, sea shell book ends from this Etsy shop, and the chair and desk lamp from Home Goods.

Whoa! The picture frames and mirror cost you less, plus they look good in this office. Have you tried looking for some pieces of furniture in flea markets? I admire how you designed the frames using paper cutouts. It resulted in something simple and chic. I'm very happy with the results!
Beautiful home decoration. I am also doing nice decorating. Thanks for sharing.......
