Staring at a Blank Wall?

Are you stumped on how to decorate a blank wall? You might be staring at a large wall, like in a room with a vaulted ceiling, or a long wall, like the hallway, or just a wall that needs to make a statement and need some inspiration. Our solution - empty picture frames! Goodwill is often the recipient of kindly donated pictures and picture frames. So we have grouped together some amazing ideas for decorating your space.

We were inspired to do a blog on picture frames after seeing this idea put into practice by a new restaurant, Café Sabo,  in Paw Paw, Michigan (We have a Goodwill retail outlet right down the road!). They had a long hallway and beautifully filled the walls with empty picture frames in all shapes, colors and styles, and a few other objects tucked here and there. All of the pieces were bought at Goodwill!

This is an eclectic style, and you don't have to do much to the frames other then maybe a little cleaning. Just group them as they are.

Of course, painting them all one color will really pop and it doesn't matter if the style of the frame is modern or decorative. Love how some of the inspirational quote is "framed".
