I am so excited about this project today!
I made one of these years and years ago, but this is an updated version thanks to a friend.
This DIY subway art is the easiest thing you will ever make. The hardest part will be finding a frame suitable, you just need patience for that.
What to look for in a frame?
Well the least expensive way to make this project is to look for frames at thrift stores. Frames this size and shape can get quite expensive and frankly if you are going to be spending big bucks, you might as well just buy the whole shebang at Restoration Hardware and call it done.
But since this is a DIY, you will want to find a long and skinny frame. For reference, the one I am using is 17.5″ x 48″
The second thing you will want to do, is make sure that your frame has matting already in it. Mats can be expensive also, and even more for this size. It doesn’t matter what color mat is in your frame because you can spray paint it!
So here are the frames I found. I was lucky to find 3 matching at the Goodwill for $12.99 each.
A little closer up so you can see the mat.

Our basement had the perfect narrow wall for this print.
We also just got this great bench which I am so in love with.
It is from Uber Chic, and you can find their various benches here.
