At Home | Our Gallery Wall

9/12/2018

Since we finished the addition on our house almost four years ago, I have been wanting to do a gallery wall of some kind. We have so many beautiful photos and they're mostly stored on phones and computers, so I really wanted to display some of our favorites and put our families up on the walls of our home. 

We finally decided on this wall right at the entrance of the house. We had had a big piece of art up on the wall for a few years, but we felt like it was time to make it more personal. Eddie measured the wall, I set out on Pinterest to find a sample of something we liked, and we got to work.

We went with a very symmetrical, organized look because Eddie is a symmetry and numbers guy. I also wanted to be able to do a combination of portrait and landscape orientation. So when I found this pin, I thought it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted.

I did some calculations and drew up a diagram. We decided on 11x14 frames matted to 8x10, and I ordered them from Amazon. You can find them here (it is an affiliate link). Once they arrived, we put the photos in (I ordered those from a pro website I use but MPix and Artifact Uprising are two of my favorites for printing great quality images). We then used Command Hanging strips (2 strips per frame) to hang them up.

​Eddie measured the space between each frame and was really meticulous about putting them up. Good thing, too, because it turned out perfect!  For those of you who want to know, we left 2 inches between each frame.

I absolutely love how this wall turned out. I love walking into the house and seeing some of our most loved people on the wall, and I love how Caleb walks up to the photos and points to everyone. It really has helped to make our house feel like more of a home, and now I'm trying to figure out which other photos we can put up and where! ;)

Personally, I think that my mother would like the design of your house. Just like you, my mother is also fond of collecting and restoring our photographs. In fact, she has a lot of different photo albums of me and my sister. Most of the time when my friends go to our house, my mother would often show them our photo albums and tell the story behind those pictures. I think that is one of the best way to entertain our house guests by remembering the old times.

Almost all of its ports are veiled and consequently, it’s immune to moisture, dust. It can withstand shock or extreme temperatures too.
