I have this long blank wall on my living room, with no idea what to put there. So I decided I needed to place a large scale piece. When I found out that Office Depot have Industrial Prints for $5; I immediately wanted to create a large scale wall photo to place on my empty long wall.
The size of the print is 24 x 42 and usually costs $5 in matte (black & white) but I got it for $3 ;). Its their largest print and if you want to print in color and glossy it will cost a lot more than that.
Just save your photo on a USB Drive; the clerk will open your photo and print it out w/no extra charge. Make sure your photo is already in {black and white} format and in high resolution!
For the frame; I bought this poster frame at Walmart for $16. I spray painted it with white paint because I didn’t like how the black frame looked.
Total cost of project $ 19!

I used a little spray adhesive to re-apply the plastic cover of the frame, since I removed it to paint it white.

P.S My wall colors are actually a little grayer and the frame is way bigger than what it seems 🙂
I will be adding this particular wall photo frame to Aries Room and replacing it with a new Large Scale Wall Photo Frame in the living room. You can print out various photos and exchange them every now and then based on your look or mood!
If you have any questions, leave a comment and will get back to you asap.

Your daugther is so lovely and the photo really great! Very nice and usefull idea, it loos like an expensive photowork from the photographer!! Thanks for sharing and have a beautful monday!
I love this!! I will definately be making a visit to office depot soon! I currently have one wall in my entire apartment with photos on them and I definitely prefer b&w over color so this would be a great solution.
Looks GREAT Angie! You’re lil one is just too cute! xo, Kimberly

So glad you posted this! My daughter has been wanting an extra-large photo of her cats for her living room and now I can surprise her with one for a very reasonable price.
Wowsa! That is a cool idea. Thanks for the heads up on how to get it done. Such a great price too. To really fill a large wall, wouldn’t it be cool to crop a picture into three separate pictures enlarge them and put them all in a row? I might just do that 🙂
AMAZING! I’m doing this! Thanks for the share.

Thanks so much for the info. I had a poster done years ago of our family going down the rapids. It was super. Now to find the right print. My granddaughter’s a cheerleader. I might have to go get some action shots. Wow. Thanks for that. Linda
Five bucks?! Are you kidding me? That is awesome. I now want to wallpaper my house in these! Lovely model, too 🙂

The cost is amazing for what you get. I think doing a wedding photo for my bedroom would be wonderful. Thanks for inspiring me.

Would you be able to post a link where the pricing for this is? I can’t seem to find it online anywhere!
Hi Bailey! I couldn’t find it online either. You have to go to the store directly and ask for the industrial prints. They don’t have them posted online.
This is amazing! I have to try this. I love large scale art, especially in black and white. I love the adorable image you chose. How sweet! 🙂

This is such a beautiful idea, I’m glad I found your blog! I think I’m going to have to try this. =)
I love this! I have the perfect photos too! I just hope they work w/IG ones! Thinking they may be too small though to enlarge.

I love your blog! I wish I had the guts to start one, your an amazing mommy! Thanks so much for the idea, i’m going to do this for sure!
I am LOVING this idea! I have the same problem… that one blank wall! ugh! thx for sharing!

I love this idea and have prepared my jpg file to take to Office Depot. But I am not finding any poster frames in that size. When I enlarged your photos I see that your poster frame is not 42 inches either. Did you have to cut your print or did you have it printed at 36 inches wide?
This is a great Idea. I also have a very large (two story great room) wall that has nothing on it as of right now and I have been hemming and hawing about what to place there. I love that this art is so inexpensive!
Cool,pretty and easy to make, this idea is not only good for the wall but also great way to cover up some spots in the room. Family portrait or any beautiful scenery could also applicable for this. I can’t wait to try this at home.
