Home Inspiration: Gallery Wall

I've always wanted to create a gallery wall at home, but I get overwhelmed by the prospect of picking out all the frames. Jorey Hurley had a genius idea: She made a simple grid of 4" x 6" Ikea clip frames featuring all her favorite family snapshots. I can do that!

  9. I bought a bunch of the same frames years ago but never got around to hanging them. They never seemed to lay evenly!

  10. wow, that is fantastic! i always get overwhelmed, too. i like how they are hidden behind the staircase, partially (a little less pressure to be the main focus of the room, i suppose!).

  22. What nice spot! :)

  23. I love it...I did something similar with our refrigerator. Covered it with Polaroids...

  24. I think I'd regularly fall down the stairs from gazing at all the pictures! Awesome idea (the photos, not the fall).

  25. this is so awesome! I know what you mean about picking the frames. I started one and now have no more room left and I just turned around to look at it and saw that all of the frames are different. lol. mostly black but all different. somehow the organized chaos works. I remember I just got up on my step ladder and started hammering. I figured, what the hell...and it worked! plus, it's a rental:) ssh...don't tell my Landlord.

  26. Such a great idea -- simple, yet so effective!

    ReplyDelete

  28. That is so unique, can you imagine looking through it over the years?

    ReplyDelete

  29. love that! IKEA also has great ones with a simple white frame (that are relatively inexpensive) that i used for my gallery wall

    ReplyDelete

  30. That is so clever. If I had a wall that large I would love to do the same, but unfortunately in my tiny apartment that would probably be overkill. Beautiful though.

  31. So perfect! Sort of like a grown up version of taping pictures to the wall of my dorm.

    ReplyDelete

  32. That is such a great idea and I love it there behind the stairs so it's not so overwhelming! -e

  33. Great idea...just not sure I'd have the patience to hang them!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Wow - that looks incredible! She must have had to map it out ahead of time, can you imagine if one of the lines started going crooked?

    ReplyDelete

  35. oh goodness... how i love this

    and your blog...

    ReplyDelete

  36. Great idea. I've been thinking about doing the same. And in my googling this morning I came across this too which would be perfect for us apartmetn dwellers (less damage of course to the walls):

  38. What a great idea...

    On another note, I like your banister with the material placed in each section. That looks very fun.
