GALLERY WALL

Now I did warn you that I would be posting more updates to about our house as we did them, so for those who find our house details uninteresting go ahead and skip this post. For those who are still interested, we had decided early on that a gallery wall above the computer was a good option but we wanted to live in the house for a bit see how it would work, plus we needed to gather some pictures. Slowly but surely we gathered some pictures or pieces of art ready for the wall so this past weekend we set about putting it up.

Prior to actually knocking holes into the wall we had made some paper templates of the picture frames and had played about with different combinations. We wanted to get it right was this is the base of the gallery wall and we will add to it but it needs to look good now too. We had been living for the past week with the templates in the arrangement we thought we wanted and were pretty set on it, until about 10 minutes before we put them up when Andrew decided to change them round again. Cue my groans! 



Once he had finalised (again) the set up he began putting the pictures up, starting with the largest picture in the centre. It wasn't the most accurate of processes. We did mark on the paper templates where the nails needed to go and Andrew made the holes through the templates, but getting everything level involved a plank of wood and a spirit level on our iPhones! We got there in the end. 




And behold the gallery wall....



We are still going to collect different art pieces and will build it up over time but we are pretty glad to have it started and its already making our home feel that little bit more homely!
