I'm in love!! I adore these frames from www.thepepperkids.com. I think I'll start a collection of vintage frames from all my shopping travels... wood & tin in all varying shades of white.
Then I'll hang them on this wall just off my entry. When we built the lake house, I found salvaged ceiling tin in huge sections. These are the biggest you have ever seen. They are waist high and half the length of this wall, which is about 15 feet long. They were VERY dirty and rusty. I cleaned the panels up and painted them, letting just a little rust peak through to show their age. (You can't see the rust in the photo) Then I topped them off with a pine board painted white to match the trim in my house. I love this vintage wainscoting!

Hi, The other Theresa sent me over. I love how you used the vintage metal ceiling, wow. Definitely use the vintage tim frames on this wall. It will go together so very strikingly.
Hi, I have to agree with the other comments and say-what a wonderful job you did on that wall. I agree with you on the tin tile frames and I like the scrambled look of the blue walled photos. I sometimes feel that a haphazard way of laying out pics on a wall is better than streamlined-especially for cozy family photos. I also think that little mementos surrounding or hung between the pictures that remind you of the photos or the people in them also works well. Kind of like a large memory board of your family....Love Tiina...
Fawn, I dropped in from Time Worn Interiors blog and have to tell you I love your blog and style. I will add you to my blog list. Looking forward to chatting more with you.
Peace,
Lisa
