new home project

We're excited to share our latest project - our collage wall!  I wanted the wall above our couch to be very family and friend oriented.  I loved the look of so many different sized black frames on our wall.  We toyed with the idea of just black and white photos to reflect the color scheme of the apartment, and even putting the photos above the dining room table, so the wires from theIikea lights could hide behind the couch instead of just mounted on the wall by the table.  But I really like what we wound up with - still a work in progress!

Here is the painting we won from Art By Elizabeth


We made this cool word collage on Wordle.  You add the words you want, color scheme, font, and shape.  It then turns your words into a collage!  They have a cool feature that you can enter your blog address and it takes the words from the blog and uses those!  We wound up with a black and white collage with words like grad students, Havi, pitties, NYC, etc!


We ordered this awesome print off Etsy...its from one of our faovite songs.  Definitely use ColorBee, she confirmed the order, sent it on time in great condition, and emailed us a thank you!


Dental Student made me this picture box collage when we first started dating.  It commemorates the company I started and our first event!


Can't wait for the next project!

  3. So cool! I want to do something similar in our "man cave". Fun, bright prints. Probably a lot of crazy dog lady ones too. Haha

  7. I love how it turned out! I have to ask if you have a secret place to buy frames on the cheap. I want to do a collage like that in our baby's nursery, but frames are so darn expensive. I was thinking of trying Goodwill and spray painting them. Do you have any other tips?
