A couple of months ago i saw this on Anthropologie and I loved the chaotic feel of it. They described the collected memories mirror as being "plucked from the past and given new life," which is kind of our thing here. Predictably, I wanted to get old frames and old mirrors and make this for myself
Mama Walker gave us some of her old frames. I didn't want to attach them together because that would ruin them, but I also didn't want to make a million holes in the wall because we are renters and that is never good. Luckily, Husband Walker is a genius and thought up a way to attach them without ruining them or making too many holes in the wall.
We made it so every frame could be hung, attached each frame with wire to the chicken wire then trimmed the wire down. This way it is easy to hang, get to, etc.
This isn't quite the finished picture, but this is pretty much how it turned out. Although it's not what I initially wanted, I still love it (one day soon I'll try to make the actual thing). It is a really nice wall decoration and a great way to have ordered chaos in the home.
