Gallery Wall

I am absolutely in LOVE with all the beautiful gallery wall displays.

 But let's face it....

I have small hallways and limited wall space, so clustering frames together would make me claustrophobic.

But I have had this idea for awhile to frame in, with molding, a piece of the wall and then collage picture frames.

Making it appear better balanced in my small space.

I first framed out my wall space. 

 I then painted the inside a stark white. I knew this would make everything pop. I started with stripes, but quickly decided that it was still too much for me. I needed to keep it clean and simple for this space.

So repainted the wall back to the stark white.

 

 Once I had it framed in and painted, I also painted the molding black.

(Note to self....make the molding frame first, paint it, and then pin nail it on....That would have saved me some taping and retouching. )

 Then I dug out my frame bin and started collecting all the frames I wanted to use for the wall! 

I took them outside to spray paint them black and then started to piece each frame  together on the wall. 

 More frames dug out and painted......

And VOILA!

Picture Perfect Family Tree Wall. 

 I love how slim to the wall it all is. My hallways are narrow and it doesn't make me feel confined!

 Now to collect which pictures I want up on the wall.

I am doing several with all kinds of trees, black n' white. 

And the rest with pictures of our family! 

Do you LOVE  it as much as I do??

I can't stop looking at it!

XOXO,

BON
