How I Hang groups of Frames- A Sanity Saver Tip

I'm the type of person that can't live in a space long before I want to decorate!
I have a pretty big collection of white frames from our past house...
and I decided to do a grouping above our sofa's yesterday.
The basement is currently covered in boxes that need to be unpacked BUT!
 I knew where my frames were..and where my wrapping paper was...
so it was go time! 
(As asked on INSTAGRAM: All the frames except the one that holds 4, are from IKEA.
The Couch is from La-Z-Boy, Rug from RUGSUSA.com)
I usually start with laying out my design on the ground.. moving things around...
then I roll out the wrapping paper on the floor, place the frame on top, cut around it then tape to wall where I want it! I take a step back at the end and sometimes rearrange a bit.
It's not an exact science..but it is way more helpful than
just throwing them up and hoping for the best!
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out..
now I need to update some of the frames as soon as I find the printer..hmm......

Micah is usually a fan of home projects.
He was happily watching ben and I hang shelves in the kitchen the other day...
until he turned into a raptor and the decorating/organizing officially ended that day.

REALITY CHECK: If you stop by my house to borrow a cup of sugar...
this is how you will find me. GLAM. please excuse the jazz hands..?!
Most days it's either the house OR me that gets cute.
Sometimes you just can't do it all. ;)
**Obviously would much rather hang frames than go through clothes on floor.

We also hung up some frame ledges and frames above our tv.
this is directly across from our the sofa's from above.
(Need to update the frame on the far right.)
The middle frame has a sweet pre-engagement love letter from ben and
a photo strip of us from dating. :) A good reminder during our busy days.
If you want to see other things I framed..here's a post from our old house.

Thank goodness doctor sophie was able to do a quick in-home
check up for Micah while I got things settled around here.
I was told his heart rated sounded great.

I recently discovered my iPhone photo library was filled with this face.
Sienna pretty much has perfected the kissy face.
She also took the below photo of her brother...
a very authentic "don't even think about it" face to his sister. ;)

You can see more of our house photos as it comes along on my Instagram!
