Instagram Photo Display Wall {Hallway Reveal Part 2}

Everyone is into Instagram right now.  Unfortunately, I am not.  I have an account, but I don't use it because I have an old iPhone that takes crappy pictures.  I could use my iPad, but I always forget about using Instagram.  I do however take pictures with my cameras.  The photographer in me still exists.  

I had some of our pictures displayed on our dining room table.

  
I have another idea for the table so the photo heart had to go.

We had this blank wall at the end of the hall and I thought it was a perfect place for the photos.  I came across The House of Smiths Instagram display wall and loved the idea.  So that is what I did.

I tweaked the idea a little.  Instead of weaving the string back and forth, I just did individual rows with my hot pink string.

Also, instead of using molding attached with command strips, I had my husband attach 1x2s directly to the wall.

It is a really simple project.  After my husband attached the wood rails, it only took me a couple hours to drill all the holes for the screw eye hooks, screw the hooks in and thread the string through.

I attached the pictures with these mini craft clothes pins (Amazon) that I spray painted fluorescent yellow.

You may have noticed that I added this Orb light fixture in the hall as well.  It was a very dark spot in our house and needed some lighting.  I made the fixture with embroidery hoops and a Hemma Cord from Ikea.  Very easy to make.

Because the hall doesn't have a switch for a light, I found the coolest gadget to turn the light off and on.

  

This is an indoor wireless remote control with three outlets (Amazon).  I used 1 in the hall, 1 for our orange lamps in the living room and the extra 1 is for an upcoming project for the dining room.  It is really cool and only $20.

Well, that is the hallway.  It is super small, but still reflects our personality that the rest of the house has.
