my personal art gallery.

remember this post when i mentioned i'd share with you my wall diy?  well, wait no more!  

a few weeks ago i decided to give our entryway an overhaul.  after a bit of pin-spiration and a trip to the christmas tree shop for some mega-cheapo frames, i poured myself a glass of iced tea and grabbed a hammer. 

determined not to put unnecessary holes in the wall, i chose to move forward with this method.  granted, it would have been so much easier with two people, but after measuring and cutting and leveling and hanging, it only took about 2 hours.  i decided to leave a few empty places for some local art pieces and an "r" i picked up at t.j.maxx.

after spending most of my saturday taping paper, hammering nails, hanging frames and filing empty frames, i ended up with this...

i love how it turned out!  as you can probably tell, i still have a few more frames to purchase and put on the wall, but all-in-all, it's done.  i'm still working to find some new artwork and have yet to sort through our photos to fill the empty frames.  it's slowly getting there and everyday, it's one of my favorite reminders i'm home.
