So it all came down. I also had some empty frames that were odd shapes so I thought I could use those. I laid out a blanket on the floor in the size that my wall was and started arranging. I took a picture so I could remember how I liked it. This is what I came up with...
I added two round mirrors, the letters that spell "love", a wooden "S", and the board with three clips on it. I got them all at Hobby Lobby. Just wanted to add in different shapes and things that weren't pictures too. I sprayed all the frames black and painted the mirrors and the "S" green.
After all that,. it was ready to go on the wall. I just pulled up the picture I took and followed it to get the right arrangement.
Yes, that is what is left of the wall when I took the shelf down, Uuuuggghh! And, I will have to hear about that from my hubby. Nothing a little spackle and paint won't fix, right? That is from "Me" being to impatient to wait a day or two before putting up decorations after painting. I just can't wait, so I usually pay for it later. Do any of you have that problem?

It looks great, Brooke! Yes, I am an impatient decorator. I would've done the exact same thing! ;)
