Here are some places to look for cool images. Have some scissors ready so you can cut out the ones you like!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calendars<\/li>\n<li>Books about nature<\/li>\n<li>Vintage magazines<\/li>\n<li>Cook books<\/li>\n<li>CD covers<\/li>\n<li>Record album covers<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/fabric-finds\/\">Beautiful printed fabric<\/a> (scarves, table cloths, dresses)<\/li>\n<li>Cards<\/li>\n<li>Posters<\/li>\n<li>Postcards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Frame your finds<\/h2>\n<p>Collect picture frames. You can go with uniform frames, or pick up an eclectic variety. The sky&#8217;s the limit! The way you mat your pictures is important. A uniform look (such as all pictures having a wide, 6 inch white mat around the image) will tie together the wall. Or, you could go for contrast and mix up the colors and width of the mat.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Add in some variety (optional)<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to including framed paper or fabric images, you can think about adding in some variety. How about a mirror? Or a large letter or word that is important to you? If you&#8217;re creating a wall in a nursery, for example, you might include your child&#8217;s initials. Or, if the wall is in your family room, how about the word &#8220;love&#8221; or &#8220;Together&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Next, put up your pictures. Play around with the spacing and arrangement. Keep stepping back to get an overall big-picture view. When it&#8217;s just right, enjoy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Are you going to set up a gallery wall?
