I've always wanted to have a gallery wall and could not wait to put one up! Before finding this house, the plan was to use the staircase but that idea when out the window with our L shaped stairs. Instead we decided to use the space between the coat closet and the kitchen opening.
We played around with the placement thanks to the ever popular trace method and ended up adding some more once the original set of frames were up.

I love that the gallery wall can be seen from the entryway.
We also hung some DIY projects like the chalkboard menu for the kitchen and a shadow box of the paper goods we made for our wedding that now resides in my office.
Speaking of my office, I have to give a huge thanks to my husband for mounting the tv in my office and putting together my desk (which we picked up at Ikea when we purchased our couch).
We're still waiting for Chris' diploma to come in so it can hang on the same wall as mine. I guess my college was out of the norm, because we actually received ours at our graduation ceremony. Other people I have talked to (including my brother and Chris) received theirs in the mail 6-8 weeks after the ceremony.
With so much bare wall space still left in this house, I can't wait to unpack some of our other frames and get them hung.
Do you feel like hanging pictures or art makes a place feel more lived in?
Your gallery wall looks fabulous! As does the rest of your artwork. I wish I wasn't so paralyzed by art, over a year after moving in and I finally now just put something up in our family room!
ReplyDeleteSome of the art/rooms were easy... I'm in a holding pattern with a couple walls in the guests rooms, the dining room (with the exception of that mirror)and still have a large wall space in the kitchen that just looks so empty... one step at a time.
DeleteThe gallery wall looks great, and I really looove your menu board! I need to do something like that, 'cause my method of sticking notebook paper to the fridge isn't that attractive.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We've been successful for one week with the meal planning, then I went on a business trip so it just said "on your own" for the majority of the week. I'm looking forward to getting more into a routine with it.
DeleteI love the gallery wall. I'm like Morgan and take time finding art to add. I wish I could just make a decision because I agree that it does make a home feel more lived in. Right now, we only have art in our dining area and bedroom. I haven't been able to commit in the other rooms. I'm really loving what you've done in each of your rooms. I like how personal each item is. I want to go add some of our own art now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! That gallery wall is one of my favorites, and I'm so happy that I pass it every day multiple times and can even see it from my office. Just makes me smile!
DeleteYour gallery wall looks great I can't wait to get something up on our walls...after we paint.
