I found some mismatched old frames I had put up in a closet and I used my handy dandy can of black spray paint to make them all match. then I printed some pictures of the kids in a sepia tone and backed them with scrapbook paper. I think they turned out really cute.
When I am trying to decide how to arrange pictures on the wall, I arrange them on the floor first. That way I can see how they'll look and I won't put extra nail holes in the wall. Here is everything laid out on the floor, and in the final arrangement on the wall.

I do the exact same thing! It works really well.
I love how you decorated your wall!
love it! Looks fab on the wall too- great job :)
Very cute! My living room has a huge metal star in it. Sort of my anchor for decorating.. My star has been with me for a long time!
OOOH! Love the way that came out!
Oooh, I love this! So pretty. Awesome idea! I just found you on Twitter so am going to follow you!
Looks great! I do the same thing of laying them out on the floor, or I use another trick I learned and like - making templates of the frames out of paper (grocery bags, etc.), then taping those on the walls (blue tape, no marks) and rearranging as many times as you like. Then, just nail the nails straight through the paper, pull the paper down, and done!
I always do that too! Looks great!
I really like your wall. I am never brave enough to try a grouping like that but I really like it. You did a great job!
I don't have the patience for that. I'm the nail it in anywhere kind of gal!;D
