Gallery Wall

 A few months ago, I started a gallery wall in our family room. I say started, but it actually could stand alone without any other photos added. We have family and friend pictures from years ago and current ones. We've incorporated our entire family. We've also added some vinyl wording, though I like the look of  a few more single words going up and down (see example image).

 What is a gallery wall? Basically, it is a curated wall. A wall full of artwork, pictures, etc. The idea is to make it your own. There are templates out there to help if you have no idea how to lay your work out. Pottery Barn has a great one here that you can use. Be sure to read the entire article and then find the templates at the bottom of the page.  This is a great starting point and you can incorporate your our style.

  Apartment Therapy (the blog) also gives some fabulous step by step tips on creating a gallery wall.

    The photo above was my inspiration. Our frames are the same style with various sizes. I am going to add some texture by using some vintage frames painted in the same color. I am also planning to add some silver frames to the mix.

   It's a great conversation piece when family and friends come over. Everyone loves finding their old pictures or seeing what has changed. I plan to change the photos every so often just to keep it fresh.
