Last night I finally got my butt in gear & took the time to put this project together, I’m so happy I did too because although I knew it would probably look good I never expected it to make me feel good.
The poster is called “Underwater View” & is from allposters.com, (use the code SUMMER22 for 20% off or SUN2499 for free shipping) I ordered a size 32×24 & then cut it into 6 8×10 pieces. The poster was a little too large to split into 6 evenly so I just made sure that all 6 prints had a common middle area & common sides. In other words I left the extra poster on the outer perimeter, you want the prints to look like they would connect were they still together. Does that make sense? I also used my old standby of IKEA Ribba frames.
I chose this print because I thought the blues would play nicely off of my rust colored bedding & it does, but what I really love is when I look up at all those beautiful sparkling water ripples it makes me feel calm. A bit hokey but I swear it’s true! I like to pretend the frames are actually portholes on a ship & I’m on a romantic cruise with the hubs. Baby crying? No, it’s just dolphins playing.
Shhhhhh, just give me 5 more minutes…
I love the picture and the overall idea. Very calming and picturesque.
I hesitate to say this last part, but it’s just my nature. Is it just the picture or all of the bottom frames tilting to the left?
Lol, it’s just the picture! With hanging 6 pics I took the time to use a level.
I love it! It is very serene.

That is really CUTE!!! What a great use of a poster! …I need inspiration. 🙂
What a great project! I love the astoundingly creative way you look at things, like an ordinary “pretty” poster and turn it into a much more beautiful gallery-like collage. It’s everything you hoped it would be – calming, serene, and a perfect contrast to your bedding.
SO peaceful! Lovity love!
The look of ripples on light blue water is so peaceful! I love it!
Yay! You came up on my dashboard for google. So happy to have your posts on there since I read mostly through my dashboard.
As for the pictures, absolutely beautiful.
