A Gallery Wall

I realize it's been a long time since I posted last.  Since that post I have...

been pregnant.

had a baby.

gone back to work.

stopped working outside of the home.

designed a nursery.

changed 1,000,023 diapers.

celebrated 6 months of my sweet boy's life.

celebrated 6 years of marriage.

and many other things.

 

So why not just start posting with a gallery wall since I did this last week instead of trying to catch up on over a year of life.

 

We have a LONG hallway in our home. I mean super long.  Everyone who walks down the hall of our home always says "wow, this is along hall."  And it is.  My mom refers to it as a bowling alley.  And one day Caleb (my son) and I will probably bowl down it.

It's in the addition of our home, which we completed 2 years ago.  And the walls have been bare ever since.  Much to my hubby's dismay. In my mind, it was always going to be a gallery wall of family photos.  I was just waiting for our family to grow. 

 

And now that Caleb is 6 months old, we have plenty of photos to begin the wall. 

 

I researched pinterest to see what stood out to me in gallery walls.  They can so easily become sloppy, messy, chaotic.

I was drawn to...

 

~ white frames

~ simple frames with some variation

~ variety of sizes

~ asymmetry

~ colored photos

 

My favorite inspiration picture had an accent of 1 color in the frames and mats, I decided to do that as well.  I also noticed that they displays I liked most all had a pretty defined bottom row, so I tried to do that as well.  This is a work in progress.  I plan on adding more frames over time.  Also, I don't have photos for all of the frames yet, so some frames just have scrapbook paper in them.

 

 And here it is...

Hope you enjoyed it!  I enjoyed putting it together! So fun to walk down the hall and see fun family photos!
