Hey ho party people can you believe I started this little gallery wall wayyyyyy back in July?I shared it's humble beginnings here.But while we're at it let's recap this hall's journey. 
This is a "before" shot. Don't judge.We all have some scary skeltons in our decor closet don't we?Oh, & incase it wasn't obvious this was taken around Halloween a few years back before we made over the living room that is adjoined to this hall. After we painted I immediatly started putting together the gallery wall.I cut out templates from cardstock to help me envision the lay out before I committed to anything.
And s-l-o-w-l-y over the course of the next few months I collected frames and added different pieces of art work AND THEN it just all came to a stand still and the wall sat like this for a long, long time. 
I blame this guy. 
We had out thermostat replaced a while back and the new one was smaller than the original one.It needed some patching and touch-ups. Like a five minute job right? Hmmm....yes, a five minute job that we put off for a VERY long time until I got to the point this week where I was sick of looking at it. And that my friends is the little kick in the bootay that I needed in order to finish off the rest of this space. 
Most of the wall art is art work created by yours truly but the state print is from an Etsy shop I adore called Livy Love Designs.The top right picture was a little design I created resembling a heart carved in a tree with me & the hubz initials and our wedding date.The "26" are house numbers that I thought would help bring a modern touch to the gallery and the # is significant to us because we got married on the 26th of July.Plus, now my husband can NEVER forget our anniversary. 
I also framed some left over fabric {long bottom blue frame} from this thrift chair makeover and used it in the top left frame as a matte for this printable quote I found at the Simple As That blog.It says "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts". Now that I am growing a little bean this quote couldn't be any more perfect!
The little "b" in the round frame represents the initial for our last name.A quick one minute design I created on my computer.Of course, I couldn't forget my doxie wall art.Tutorial for how to make your own doggy wall art can be found here. But I do have to say one of my favorite, favorite things on the wall was the beaded mirror that I spray painted blue {see original mirror below}. It was a Goodwill find and I just love, love, love it!I believe it's handmade.
I apologize for all the glares but this wall is directly across from my office window so I was having a difficult time getting some pics that wouldn't blind y'all. 
WHEW! Is everyone still with me? Do I need to revive anyone after that photo bomb of pictures?Any one else have a gallery wall in their house?What's your favorite thing hanging on your wall right now?
