Finishing Holden's Room- Finally

I've been planning to fill a wall in Holden's room with pictures for over a year now.  While I was pregnant with Juliet I thought it would be a great time before she got here.  I went to Goodwill and bought any frame with good 'bones" that was under two dollars.  I ended up with seven of them on that trip.  They really varied so much: wood, metal, glass front, and shadow box frame.  Hobby Lobby provided scrap book paper, a cute bicycle sticker, and some wooden vehicles.  And then they sat there for months in their original shopping bags.
As my countdown toward returning to work loomed, I knew if I didn't do it now, it wouldn't happen.
My goal was to produce something presentable but not perfect.
I laid the frames out on our kitchen island to wash the glass and disassemble in prep for painting.  I had some extra paint from Juliet's room in a neutral color that I used to color the frames.  I painted the frames without too much attention.  I intentionally left paint strokes showing to cover all the other likely unintentional strokes.

Next came assembly.  After getting the glass back on, I noticed that a few of my photos were not aligned perfectly.  But oh well.  I plan to switch photos out as time goes on.  Holden won't notice.  And I was doing this during Juliet's naps, so I wasn't interested in letting it take any longer.
Not a ton of thought was put into the photos. They were just what I had around already printed.  I did include one of only three photos of my grandpa holding Holden.  That one will probably be a permanent one.

In the future, I'd like to pick up a few more frames and add more to the collage!  All in good timing.  I'm not stressing about it.
