Finally:0)
Using “Destiny’s Method of Randomness” I muscled through this one and got my gallery wall up and finished! I don’t know how many hours I spent pondering bout how I should arrange this wall, what photos to display, what objects to put where. Up until yesterday it was one big headache. So I finally just went with it. My poor wall got so nailed up:0)
Here is the wall before…
then happily ever after…
Patience is not my best character trait( ha) and perfection seems to be impossible to reach:0) So I didn’t cut out pretty little templates. Even if I did, I think I would have edited just as much. So to start off this wall I laid out a beginning format on the floor and nailed as I went. If your going to be lazy like me and use this method, make sure you have a small tube of nail hole filler and a paint pen:0) lol. It really wasn’t that bad:0)
Here’s a little photo tour…
Lyrics to OUR song:0)
This print was something I typed up and printed along with a shadow box and prints of the kiddos:0)
Family photos galore:0)
This print is from Coco Draws an Etsy shop, I thought the boots were so adorable! I adore her stuff and can’t wait to use some more drawing in my closet!!
This hanging basket with the fern plant is from Tuesday Morning.
I used my silhouette machine to cut out an Arizona silhouette..a play on the I Heart State art that’s out there.
I used different woods and tried to repeat it at least once across the scheme so it would flow. Remember those barn wood frames! I love them!
So happy to get this DONE!! Moving on to the next project this weekend!! Oh and I’m pretty sure I found some chairs for this space!!! So excited!

I love gallery walls I’m having issues getting the spacing just right on mine. It’s sorta annoying. 🙂

August 31, 2011 at 10:28 pmI love this! I think this may be one of the best gallery walls that I’ve seen for two reasons – one, it’s not just photos. There’s other stuff up there breaking it up. Two, there’s no obvious pattern to how you placed things. You see a lot of tutorials showing you how to do it with a baseline down the middle, or symmetrically, but this doesn’t scream “this was sketched out on graph paper” like some of those do. It’s random, but balanced. Love it!
Finally, I love the idea of your song lyrics on the clear glass. I may have to steal that! 🙂

September 1, 2011 at 12:10 amThank you for posting the link, Destiny! Aww, I love seeing my print up on your wall! It looks perfect. Art walls can be tricky but you did yours beautifully! I love how you mixed the different texture and color frames and the awesome black and white family photos. Lovely family you have. 🙂

September 12, 2011 at 2:35 amDo you know how many children I have? Four. Do you know how many photos I have of them in my home? NONE. Only their newborn photos. It makes me so sad, but I just don’t know where to start. LOL 🙂

March 6, 2013 at 8:43 pmI linked here from the HandMade Home and I can’t stop looking! I love everything! 🙂
I did notice, and you probably have too by now, that HAPPILY is spelled wrong in your shadow box? I am a spelling freak, it’s a disease, truly! 🙂
