I received some questions from readers about the photo wall in my hallway. As it is not always possible to get white frames and to avoid different shades of white, I bought simple, inexpensive frames (from for example IKEA) in different sizes which I painted white.
From every trip we make I select a couple photos that make it to our wall. There are a lot of great memories on this wall!

hi there! can I ask a question about wall decor? I receveid a wonderful modular frame (you can find here http://www.oppuredesign.com/uk/ingrandimento.asp?id_categoria=50&id_articolo=1520), but mine are white… I’m not sure what to do with them because they are very big… and all that white in my white wall… I don’t know can you suggest something? Maybe some little drawing on the frame angle? thanks a lot, luisella
Ps. I’m a italian reader, I apologize for my bad english, thanks again.

Hi Luisella,
My frames are white too (on a white wall). I actually like this. This way the picture will pop out and all the attention is drawn to the photo. Try using colourful photos and prints!
I hope this information helps a little bit!
Ciao,
Danielle

Danielle-what kind of paint did you use? did you use primer too? how many applications? thanks so much!
Danielle Aug 14, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Hello Jean, I have used normal white paint and no primer. If the original color of the frames are dark perhaps you should use a primer or two layers of white paint. I hope this info helps!
