Gallery Wall Update and a Quick Trick for Hanging Picture Frames
When I decluttered my office for its big makeover, I ended up with a hodgepodge of photo frames without a home. Luckily most of them have black picture framing so I knew I could work them into my gallery wall. The only problem is that they weren’t all frames that can hang on walls. Most of them were frames that have the stand so they can sit on a desk. I was also able to create beautiful displays with split canvas prints.
No problem. With a little Macgyver DIY I converted those picture frames and got them hung on my gallery wall. (That backing really collects fuzz!) I just used a piece of string to wrap around the photo holder clips and then I hung that on the nail. Yes, I probably could have used picture wire or something fancier but I was doing some DIY on the fly.
I added this free printable that I found over at The DIY Mommy. I pinned it for you right here. I didn’t want to do anything too fall specific. I printed this one out on card stock and I will probably leave it up through Thanksgiving.
I picked up these California and Ohio hand painted signs from a vendor at The Spotted Cow, where I have my booth space. I didn’t have her put any stars on the Ohio sign because we have lived all over that state. I would have stars everywhere!
This seemed fitting as well! I bought this awhile ago when I had my retail space at a different store. But I love it still!
This Gallery Wall is all coming together beautifully! I still have a few spaces to fill, and I’m considering adding some religious canvas wall art to bring a sense of peace and inspiration to the space. I’d also like to cover the doorbell and thermostat, and a wall hanging clock might fit in nicely. This may mean some rearranging at some point, but that’s just how things go around here!

I love how this all came together. Gallery walls always look so nice when they are filled with meaningful pieces and not just pictures. Crazy good idea for hanging those frames!

I think I have a small addiction to gallery walls. I love yours! It’s so cute and meaningful all at the same time. I’m about to do a gallery wall for my office. I’m pinning this since you’re giving me tons of inspiration!

Thanks Carrie! I wish my wall was even bigger, I’m kind of sad that I am running out of room. Need more walls…..
