gallery wall – not the inspirational kind

February 22, 2012 7 Comments

I love my craft room, I really do. Is it perfect? No, come on, I’m a real person. It looks pretty in pictures but there is cat hair on things and an overall mess on more days than I want to admit.

There is a wall in the craft room I rarely show. The intention was for it to be a gallery wall of all inspirational images and things. Right now it is not that…it is looking okay but not what I really wanted.

I’m not thrilled about the placement. It needs some fine tuning and in places where there are empty frames, I should probably add something. I should also learn to take a photo where the the glare from the window doesn’t ruin the photo but I digress….


Want to know what I am drooling about? Check out my Gallery Wall board on Pinterest.

More come in the coming weeks. I’m off to IKEA today with my cousin, JandJHome. Stay tuned for some fun projects and hopefully, more frames for my gallery wall!

Do you like the whole gallery wall trend? If you have one in your own home, share it!

Thanks for following Directions Not Included!

    Oh, I love gallery walls! I am slowly kind of picking up frames and things to frame, to do this in my office. Yours is looking great so far!

    I love a gallery wall! I have an entire wall of cork here in my studio and I’m constantly putting new things on it. I find it inspirational. Good luck at Ikea, I could spend all day there 🙂

    I’m a huge fan of gallery walls! They look so good!
    The straight line at the top but the uneveness at the bottom throws yours off a bit… maybe if you did something a little less uniform it would be better? But I’m sure you have a plan!

    I started one in my guest bedroom in June. Key word started. I should get on that!
