Gallery Photo Wall

Yay!  It's finally done!  Our living rooms,  Family Picture Gallery Wall!
Complete with lots of bold family pictures, spray pained initial, vinyl frames, and some trendy subway art, with a mish-mash of all of the places we've lived.

Take a look at how we turned these regular white IKEA frames,
into...basically, a "home decor scrapbook page", on steroids.
ha! :)











I can't even express how happy this photo wall makes me.
The way the picture frames fill up the wall perfectly, the cheery colors, the little adorable people in the photos...
I didn't think I could love this bright, happy room any more then I already did...

...I was wrong.
:)

There is just something about the way displaying pictures of happy moments with your family, makes you feel.

To me, this is what decorating is all about:
Getting personal...and finding ways to surround yourself with beautiful things and memories that you want your family to remember and cherish forever.

    How funny! I actually sat down at my computer after looking at my bare wall in our new living room and was lamenting that it was taking "Shelly over at House of Smiths" TOO long to finish up that family photo collage! I am THOUROUGHLY enjoying the pictures of the finished work at just the EXACT moment that I needed to see them!
    My boys got their pictures taken in front of (I'm thinking MAYBE) the exact same yellow wall in SLC last summer and I have the frames spray painted and ready to go, but I just wanted to see your official take on it first! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!

    I WILL make a subway sign for my parents who were raised in NYC. They're getting ready to start thinking about looking for house #10 - and, no, neither parent was in the military.

    yay!!! I have been waiting patiently for this reveal..... you did an excellent job! We move into our new home next week and I may have to "borrow" this idea. I also like how you have a robin egg blue end table combined with a gray coffee table. I am going to BE BRAVE in my new house!!

    But I have to ask.... how do you ever keep little hands off all your decor? That right THERE should be a post all on its own.

    I rarely comment on other people's posts because, to be honest, I'm a huge perfectionist. I truly subscribe to the only-compliment/comment-if-you-really-mean-it-and-not-just-to-say-something-nice.

    Anyway-- enough of that tangent. My point, ahem, is that I really, really love this wall and room... and I'm not just saying that.

    Hey Shelly,

    So I picked up some IKEA frames, brought them home and to my dismay, the sizes of the photos I need to fill them are soooooo stupid. Hello!!! why is it 19 1/4 by 27 1/4?? Could you tell me how you got past the dumb sizes. Where you printed your photos and what not?

    I love, love, LOVE your photo wall and it's almost exactly what I've been looking for because I was told to use uniform frames since I'm mixing black and white photos with colored photos of our family. I know you said you got the frames at IKEA, but did their frame sizes match up with the photo sizes? Or did you have to enlarge some photos and cut off edges to fit the frames? Just wondering if I need to buy the photos or frames first:) I know you're prob super busy, but I'd love to know what you did. My email is Jessica.driggs.nelson@gmail.com Thanks.
