Remember this big blank wall?
Now it looks like this!
What do you think?
It is a work in progress- I might not be done yet.
My initial plan was to cut butcher paper to represent each frame/map so that I could tape the paper to the wall and play with the spacing and the layout, but that quickly proved to be tedious. So, I grabbed a hammer and nails and a leveler and started knockin' some holes in this rented wall! My only rule was to have equal spacing between the frames, and I decided on 3", which coincidentally is the size of a square Post-It note. I simply stuck Post-Its between frames to measure. I may need to invest in some type of double-stick tape to help keep the frames in place, or else "straighten frames" will continue to be a daily chore!
My inspiration was from a few magazine clippings like these-
And now it feels like we live where we live.
"Oh, who lives here?"
We do!
As a side note, Max woke up this morning with an awesome mohawk that stuck around all day :)
