You know those amazingly large and cheap engineering prints you can get done at Staples? Of course, you do. They\u2019re all over Pinterest. Well I had 3 of them made about the time we moved in from our Spring family photo shoot and they\u2019ve been tacked to the wall above our TV ever since. Literally, I used colorful tacks to attach them to the wall. I was hoping the tackiness of it (pun intended) would encourage Cody to hurry up and make frames for them, but that plan backfired on me. So, here I am 3 months later just now finally getting frames. With the fireplace makeover complete, I was finally able to woo Cody over to finish up the art of the TV wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engineering prints were 1.79 a piece for 18\u00d724 in, but try finding frames that size, and the money you saved on the prints starts to disappear. I originally got the idea for these frames from Navy Bean Lane. I loved the way her black and white prints looked paired with the wood frames. The frames are made of stain-grade pine 1\u00d72s and are ridiculously easy to make (and only $5.81 a piece). Cody started by cutting the wood at the correct length by using our chop saw.<\/p>\n\n\n
