Gallery Wall (Corner)

Most of this week has been dedicated to creating a gallery area in Sandi's room. I bought several frames at IKEA last week and my mom gave me a box full of discarded picture frames. I bought a cute little chair at IKEA (pictures on that later) and in the box was a large piece of brown paper that was the perfect size for mapping out my frame placement. Here are all the frames in a test layout. I had to sand and paint the frames from my mom (also known as the free ones). I used the chair box as a table. I've gotten so many uses out of that one chair! Once everything was the right color and filled with various pictures I traced them on the brown paper with an "x" marks the spot for the nail holes and tapped the paper to the wall. And here's the wall in all it's glory. Here's a shot from the side...and here's a shot from the hallway. I know you can't tell what everything is but I'll explain a few. For Valentine's Day Jeff got me a card from the dogs and stamped their paw prints on it. This is from that card. This is the Google artwork for the Royal Wedding this year. This is a watercolor of a peacock I pinned on Pinterest. This is the "Just keep swimming" quote from Finding Nemo. Dory is one of my favorite cartoon characters ever. This giant "N" was created using Publisher. I stole the idea from Young House Love--in fact, the whole gallery wall idea was stolen from them. The other images are just scrapbook paper and a couple pictures from ZGallerie. I'm sure some of these will be replaced here and there (maybe with wedding photos) but for now I love the look. Next is working on some decor above the daybed. Once I've finished that I'll post again.
