Gallery Wall Project

We had a quiet weekend for the first time since we got in the house.  It was nice and relaxing.  We went out to dinner, got some shopping done, and got some little house projects done.  Our biggest accomplishment was hanging a gallery wall above our bed.

When we first moved in, we laid all of the pictures and wall decor we brought with us from our apartment on the ground and decided where we wanted to put different things.  We have quite a few canvases from our wedding and our engagement pictures.  We really didn't want to put pictures of just the two of us all over the house, so we decided to do a gallery wall with the pictures and other decor on the big wall above our bed.  It was our first time doing a gallery wall and we must have laid everything out about 15 different ways before we decided how to hang everything.  Once we got to actually hanging everything it wasn't so bad or at least it didn't look so bad.  My husband did all of the hanging :).  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

We also bought some ledges this weekend to put up some of our decor that doesn't easily hang on the wall.  We're going to use most of them in the morning room, but we also got a small one for our guest room to display our tile from Mexico and album from Hawaii.  After finishing up the gallery wall we were on such a roll that we got the ledge up in the guest room.

We also put up some decor in the powder rooms and a bunch of stuff in the office.  I forgot to take pictures so I'll update later on those.
