(Did I mention that I never measure when hanging pictures? That's why they're slightly off. I'm not patient enough for measuring...I'm an eyeballer.)
But then I realized I had this frame sitting around.
It may look like the middle picture is matted but it's not. I faked it! I just took out the original 4 picture matting and wrapped linen (the same remnants from the lampshades) around a piece of cardboard. Then I printed one of our wedding photos on my home printer on an 8x11 sheet of archival photo paper. I left a thin white border around the edge which helps the illusion of matting. I ran it through my Xyron machine to give it an adhesive backing. And finally I just mounted it on top of the linen. Eventually I would love to get this photo professionally printed and matted but for now this was a free alternative.
The other picture frames were old bamboo frames that I painted using the leftover paint from the nightstand. I then printed out 5x7 letters from the awesome website: Daily Drop Cap by the insanely talented Jessica Hische. (She designed the logo for my favorite gelato company in the city!)
My above the bed wall art that I did in less than an hour. What do you have hanging above your bed?
