When I moved into my apartment I knew that I did not want to paint the walls, because it would be a huge pain to repaint them when I was ready to move. So instead I opted for covering my walls in pictures. Like this one -

I choose to buy these inexpensive frames from IKEA because I wanted to spend more money on being able to get nice prints to put in the frames. In order to keep some continuity I choose only black frames, but they do vary in size and shape. Ideally I would love my apartment wall to look like this:

I can remember the first time I saw anything like this was on an episode of Tori Spelling's show with her husband. They were shooting in their house and Tori had this wall of black photo frames, all shapes and sizes covering an accent wall in living room. Not long later I was filling in for my sister when she could not babysit for her regular family and they too had a wall covered in an assortment of picture frames.
So when I began to think of a way to decorate my apartment I decided I wanted to hang picture of all the places I had traveled. Now every time I look at the wall I am filled reminded of amazing experiences and filled with happy memories.
How would you cover the wall of your apartment?
