So, finally, after a few months (from start to finish), I completed this project! I started collecting picture frames awhile back knowing that this is what I eventually wanted to do. I got some at garage sales, some were given to me, and some I already had. Once I thought I had enough, I got to work...
I laid them out on the floor to get a feel for how I wanted them to look. Then I had to take out some glass. Some of them had glass and some didn't. I just broke it out. I know, I know... It wasn't the safest of projects, but luckily my husband wasn't home, or I would've had to do it another way.
So, once the glass was out, I wiped them all down, took out some hardware (that I put back in later, cuz I like the added character it gave), and began spray painting.
After about 5 coats of paint (no, I didn't prime - my mistake!!), I brought them back in and began to hang. Some, I put up with nails and picture hangers. Some of the lighter ones, I used the Command Hook brand velcro picture hangers. I love that stuff!! It makes them hang straight (forever!!) and is super easy!

After...
I also added our last name in black vinyl.
