I have my posters hanging in my home office and I’m trying to take advantage of all available space.  I had a custom size frame made up at American Frame for the space above a closet door and loaded it with stickers from shows I’ve attended.  😁

great idea for the stickers

After Ohana, I've run out of space for any more posters in my home office. And that's after removing tall furniture for extra room.

Anyone ever hang posters from the ceiling?

That looks so awesome.

How many total posters did you fit? 😁  My office is small - only 10x10 and I managed to fit 23.  I technically could fit one more but I’d have to get rid of a small shelving unit and it’s some of the only storage I have in there.

Give or take my office is about 8x10 feet, but I have tall enough ceilings to vertically stack posters. There's two more out of frame on one wall, I think it's about 27 now (a few being the Hot Stove 11x17 posters over the door)?

After a few nicely matted frames I had to stop to save space and cost. There's about a 2" gap between them all. I will not be excited about patching all the holes in the walls when it's time to move.

I need an office ASAP!!

I love it! Great job!

Thank you!

I had my stickers in a box doing nothing but saving them.  I didn’t even have to peel the backing from them… just used tension to hold them in place. 

I bought another custom frame to hold ticket stubs and put it above a window and also used the space above another doorway to hang some autographs.  I’m pretty much out of poster space on the walls - I seem to be maxed out at 23 posters in the office.  I’ll try to post some pics shortly.  

sorry if this is dumb, but what do you mean by "used tension"?

I arranged the stickers and then carefully placed them in the frame and the tension of the backer board against the plexiglass holds the stickers in place.  I didn’t want to use any adhesives to hold them in place in case I want to remove them down the road.

that's what I thought, but then thought maybe it was just some type of framer lingo I wasn't privy to. thanks! that is a great idea. Might do that with some ticket stubs.

That's a great idea...I may do that as well!

No lingo for me lol.  

I put my ticket stubs in a similar frame in the space above a window.  No adhesive on those either.

I've been thinking lately of just digitizing most of my ticket stub collection and selling it. Since physical tickets are no longer really a thing. Just keep my favourites for the frame and sell the rest. I'm only missing 4 stubs dating that I used to keep in my wallet when it got stolen at Sun(mud)fest 93 (Pearl Jam!). only 4 missing stubs dating back 30 years isn't bad. lol

just framed these two. the off ramp was an alcohol influenced purchase.

I get all my frames from americanframe.com. ALL 40 or so posters are in the same 2” matte black frame. a couple of years ago, americanframe drastically cut down their inventory of mat colors…it actually works well; I buy the frames and buy my mats locally, where I can see the color next to the poster. my local frame shop only charges $15 for a cut mat….only a couple of bucks more than americanframe.

This was a fun one.  Huge Sandlot fan since seeing it in theaters 28 years ago.  And I love baseball.  So when I saw that Mondo did an official movie poster I had to get it.  Took me two years.  For the frame I wanted something that said “early 60s” and that seafoam green color always reminded me of that time period.  A few coats of it on a white wood frame and here we are….

Thanks man.  I’ve never framed a 24x36 before.  It definitely makes choosing wall space a tougher choice!

Absolutely LOVE that Paul Mann, and hope to own one someday... definitely THE perfect poster for the flick.

Seafoam sets it off beautifully!  Nicely done.

You’re killing me, Smalls!


That looks so good!  Poster art and frame choice are A+

On a related note… I just watched The Sandlot last week with my 9 year old.  He loved it 👍🏻
