Gallery Photo Wall

Remember my frames I purchased and had leaning up against my wall.....

Well, with Hannah and Michael's help, they are all hung up. I filled all the frames with photos, Hannah cut out paper templates, Michael and I arranged the paper on the wall and then Michael hung them all. We are a perfect team! I got the idea from Pottery Barn to do the photo wall.


The best tip I ever received from an interior designer is to hang things lower than you think they should be. Things should be eye level when seated. Next time you are looking through a design magazine, look to see where things are hung. That is one of the first things I notice when I walk into someone's house - that their photos, framed art and wall hangings are hung just too high. Bringing down the wall hangings makes the room feel cozier.

  10. I was going to comment on your comments but then I read through them all...how funny. What a great idea putting paper shapes up on the wall first...and hang them lower, I know one group of pictures in my house is too high.
