gallery wall

I've always loved the look of gallery walls and having the reminder of family photos and special memories.
        In keeping with my living room plan here for a neutral space, with a little glamour
                                         this is what I've come up with (so far).

                    If you follow these three steps you can create one in your favorite style!
                                               ~ some symmetry
                                               ~ a cohesive element to give it some unity
                                               ~ something unique, personal or fun

                                                                                                                     

                        ~ gold frames, large mats, gold & white color scheme unify the look
                        ~ hanging a large photo from a hook (or so it seems) is my unique twist
                        ~ a couple of shelving pieces with a treasure from my sweet great aunt

                   

Did you notice the painted wall in lieu of a white mat?

And, my lovely thermostat - no where in sight,

it's behind the frame leaning against the wall.

                                          

                     

                   You may have noticed there's still room at the bottom for a couple more frames,

                                 it's on my list and you'll be the first to know when I cross it off!
