The long awaited clock and art wall project has now been hung up on the wall between the kitchen and dining area.
I was a little worried about it's eclectic look clashing with the contemporary set up of the dining area but I think it works well ... it adds interest and personality and will definitely be a talking point at the dinner table!

Since I first started creating the clock and art wall I have been adding and taking away art, frames and clocks from the design and playing with the layout so many times that I just couldn't bare to change it any more!
Then when Mr P went to hang them up we changed it around a bit more again and I'm really happy with how it has turned out.
This is how my art and clock wall project came together ...
Tools of the trade - A level, tape measure, pencil, drill and different sized nails |
The final collection and layout ready to hang |
Mr P drew a line from the bottom of the light switch and worked our way upwards |
Frame by frame they were added to the wall |
I tried to evenly space the colours by placing them diagonally to one another |
A new addition to the wall is this playboy bunny art made by an old work colleague who is also an artist |
My favourite is still the rhino hook I got from Typo |
The top of the wall |
The middle of the wall |
The bottom of the wall |
The finished art and clock wall project |
I know this will be an evolving design and I can add different art to the frames when I feel like I want a change.
I'm really liking how it has come together and have had so much fun creating this gallery style wall.
I haven't spent a lot of money either a lot of the pieces I already had and just reused them and some of the art was hand made and free. Just goes to show what you can create with a bit of time and imagination.
