gallery wall

i'm so excited to show you my finished gallery wall!
i love it.
i wish i hadn't drug my feet so much with this project because it is just so dang happy.

so here was our big ol' blank wall before . . .

and here it is all bedecked in frames . . .

yes, we did a little furniture rearranging as well. :)

let's get a closer look, shall we?

so it doesn't look at all like how i had it laid on the ground.
it kind of took on a life of it's own once we started hanging them.
we didn't have any technical formula.
we hung the biggest one up first and then starting hanging the others around it as we went.
i would step back and look at it and then aj would hang the frame where i directed.
it worked out really well and didn't talk long at all.

i actually left a few frames empty for a few days, but i just wanted those suckers up on the wall!

okay, so i'll show you what's in each frame. . .

we'll start with top left.
we've got a pic of the five of us that callie took a couple of years ago.

next to that we have a cheapy cardboard N from hoblob, spray painted black.

next up, i framed a pretty piece of scrapbook paper next to one of ruby's newborn photos.

beside that we hung up a sweet little pic of fin from farmland adventures.
below that is a cutie pic of our 4 year old avery on the beach.

below that is another {i couldn't help myself} adorable newborn pic of ruby.
then i used a glassless frame to house a piece of fun number typography scapbook paper and a wooden number 6.

next to those, i took apart a random piece of artwork, spray painted the mat & framed one of my grandma's handkerchiefs 

the big daddy in the middle is a sweet photo that AJ took of avery and i in a ferris wheel a couple of summers ago.

this rad print is from the shop for sharlie, created by julie of joy's hope blog.
love that quote so. much.

another beach pic {already had these on hand} of a 2 year old finley and a 4 year old avery.

below that is a weird size frame that i put some burlap looking scrapbook paper and a couple of 4X6's of our family from two years ago.

for this frame i printed out an adorable picture of sawyer that my father in law took on family vacation two summers ago.
love those chubby little baby hands!

top frame . . . old book page with a little bunting made from yarn & scrapbook paper.
bottom frame....  me and the boys this summer about a week before sister came.

and finally...a little bit o' lovin to spice things up a bit.....taken for our ten year anniversary last december.
{baby ruby's in that picture too, but we didn't know it. ;)}

so there you have it...our very fun, eclectic, inexpensive, can evolve & grow over time, gallery wall. :)

this was such a fun project.
it's kind of addictive.
i'm definitely on the look out for more fun things to frame...magazine pics, fabric, great photos, etc.

what about y'all?
anybody else out there have a gallery wall to share?
i'd love to see. :)
