Well… I got something done; partially lol ;) I started working on my gallery wall that I’ve been dreaming off. Here is the beginning of it. I need to add something to the open spot on the top right. I’m thinking either a book wreath or some of those popular antler things. What do you think? You see that awkward white box inside of the frame on the top left? Its my doorbell. I plan on somehow covering it either with burlap or placing a picture on it. Yes… the skeleton and Mr. Black Bird are not regulars…. they will disappear after Oct. 31st ;) I still need to fill in a few gaps with some more frames. By the way did ya notice those paint spots at the bottom? lol I can’t decide!
I think I want to add one of these cute little cubbies below my gallery. It will keep the kiddos away from the frames and provide storage for the area. My front door is to the right of this wall and we always have shoes scattered everywhere so this would be perfect for shoe storage.

Back to those paint spots….. so I spent time rearranging and placing everything on my wall and then I decided I REALLY need to paint my living room. When we bought our house all of the walls were covered in the usual builder tan. I was to chicken to paint my brand new walls so they’ve stayed that color for THREE YEARS! Welp…. I’m sick of it ;) Now I need to decide on the right color. Ya know choosing paint for pretty much the entire main area of your home is no easy task. Its pricy to purchase all of the paint and it’s going to be A LOT of work painting all of it. What if I hate it when its done? EEEEK
{left paint color: Valspar Sage Morsel} {right paint color: Valspar Anti Meridian}
These are the two colors I’m trying to decide between right now. During different times of day they either look darker/lighter so I’m having a hard time choosing. Which one do you like? Also, I’m still trying to finish that darned coffee table but I can’t seem to make it look right lol I think I’m on a bad luck streak right now….. maybe it’s not the best time to be painting my entire house?

VERY cute! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with a very long wall in home for a long time. I’m going to show my hubby this to see what he thinks.
It’s a perfect fix for a long wall! Hope the hubby approves ;)
I really like this wall with all of the frames, especially the one with the giant “D”. Awesome. Thanks for stopping by “In His Grip” with some comment love.
The big chunky frames are my favorite also :) Thanks for visiting!
Lookin’ good! Ana White has plans for that shoe storage cubby on her site. I’ve had them printed off for a year now. They WILL be mine! ;o)
I love what you did. The white looks so great!

This is coming out lovely … I have a vintage basket over my doorbell. I love the frame the D is in!
Thanks Francine… that is my favorite frame also :)
Girl, I love an empty frame! The wall color is fabulous….a huge improvement over the tan color. Love the picture blocks, the chalkboard, everything. Lisa~
Thanks Lisa! My husband will just have to learn to like his “baby blue walls.” ;)
The mix of shapes and styles look great together. The one in the center with the D is my favorite! The colors choices are great too. Love them both.
It’s fantastic!! And I love the storage idea you have!! I’m not seeing much of a difference in your paint colors…it’s my netbook I’m sure!! I still have the builder tan so I’m not much help I’m afraid!! :)
Thanks for linking up to Show & Share!
Thanks for stopping by :) The colors are pretty similar so it made it really hard to decide. The are in the same color palate just different shades. I went with the lighter shade and I love it! I don’t mind the normal builder tan but I had it on every wall and my ceiling so I was feeling a little washed out ;)
I have pinned a few images of Gallery Walls onto my pinterest boards but am yet to attempt anything. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Your gallery wall looks amazing!
Best wishes,
Natasha
Thanks Natasha! I’ve been dreaming of a gallery wall for awhile also! I finally dove in and created it :) Good luck with yours!

Candace
Thanks Candace! I’ll check out your site for sure :)
I like the beginning of your gallery wall! The color and the frames are perfect. I have the shoe cabinet in black in my foyer. It’s perfect for mittens and scarves, yet it doesn’t take up too much room.
Thanks! I can’t wait to get the shoe cabinet! It will give the wall its “finished” look that its currently missing!
I love the vintage frames! They look great all mixed together.
