Hallway Gallery Wall

I have lived in my house for three years now and have been planning on creating a gallery wall for that entire time... how's that for procrastination at its finest?!

Well, I finally threw caution to the wind and created it :o) I know... I'm a rebel...



This gallery wall is created in my hallway that goes upstairs from the living room so it's a little hard to get photos of it but I did my best!

You can see that I used all whites and off-whites with dimensional items and chippy painted pieces for texture.


I started by hanging this old window. I put three coordinating pieces of scrapbook paper behind the panes of glass.



The one in the middle is my grandma when she was young! Doesn't she look like a movie star in her little cowgirl getup? I love this picture!


To the left of the window I hung two pieces of architectural salvage.

There is a chalkboard eraser and a piece of chalk resting on top of them for the two chalkboards that are in my arrangement.


Then I added a large metal star, a tin chandelier wall hanging, and a canvas picture of my daughter.


The lighted tin arrow is from Fred Meyer! I love this thing!


I used a chalkboard shelf and an old tin ceiling tile to disguise the arrow's electric cord.


Right now there are three little candle holders that I made for Christmas on the shelf.

They are made from baby food jars found in a garage sale "free" box! I made the tags out of polymer clay and stamped them with small letter rubber stamps BEFORE baking them so the words are actually baked into the clay, then I used some black paint to bring the words out.


The tops of each jar are wrapped with some miniature holiday garland and a teeny-tiny vintage ornament and I put a little tea lite candle in each one!


This picture of my daughter was actually quick selfie she took of herself. I thought it was pretty so I had it printed on the canvas.


And with the arrow all lit up at night!
