My Love For Magazine Collage Walls

I have always LOVED collage walls made from magazine cutouts! I have been debating whether or not I want to do a wall somewhere in my home! Here are a few photos I found inspiring....Bright Bazaar

I love collages because are like putting a puzzle together. They are easy to take down also, so great for people who live in rentals! Plus it's great to just try it for while and if you hate it you just take it down. That's probably what I will do.

My First Photo Montage

My talented friend Dennis Capps designs Photo Montages. A few years back he designed a photo montage for me using photos taken at our wedding and on our honeymoon in California. You can see that {HERE}. I decided I wanted to attempt making one myself using Adobe Photoshop. For my montage I used photos taken during our Disney Vacation in December of 2010.


I used a total of 20 pictures and it took somewhere between 30 to 40 hours to complete. I didn't really keep track, I just worked on it here and there. It was really fun trying to pick photos out and put them together like a puzzle. It's also very challenging!! The pictures you want to use don't always work. You really need a huge selection of photos to design a montage. I can't wait to get it printed and framed!

FLASHBACK to 1996 - Photo Collage Bedroom

I was cleaning out my closet today and found tons of magazine clippings from when I did my entry way collage wall. I love doing collage walls from photos and magazine pages. I love doing it because it is like putting together a puzzle. Below is where the hobby started for me...







Green Day was my world! lol







I know not everyone could live in a room like this, but I was a teenager! lol I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. We ended up moving shortly after I finally got the room complete. I do still listen to Green Day, No Doubt, Garbage & Soundgarden. :)

Decorating Collage - July 2010

Since I hope to be designing my next home soon I put together a collage of things that are inspiring me right now...

There sure seems to be a lot of pink. If I do decide to paint my apartment I will stick to only painting accent walls and lighter colors. I have so many ideas! Just have to find the right place to move so I can get started. :)

Entry Wall Collage

We have lived in our house for over 2 years now. I have never be able to decide what to do with the entry. When you walk in there is a closet. We actually took the doors off and just left it open. I bought a cheap wardrobe from IKEA to keep coats and shoes in. I couldn't decide if I wanted to paint the area, wallpaper it or hang fabric. So, instead of any of that I just decided to use all the great magazine photos, warhol prints, marilyn monroe pictures and everything else I didn't have a place for!!! Now it all has a home together!

Its not for everyone, but is very ME. I love collages. Its so fun to stand and look at all the images. I even put photos of friends and family in the mix. Its very personal. I still have some "holes" to fill. It sometimes is hard to find the right size picture to fit into the puzzle.
