Do you remember my recent post with the gorgeous wall gallery from Martha Stewart Living?
So I have this little landing at the top of my stairs. Before yesterday, it featured a lonely portrait of Aidan. But now it looks like this:
That’s an 11×14 portrait, an 11×14 collage, a 10×20 and an empty (for now) 8×8 matted frame. Two have glass, two don’t – I’m definitely a mix and match kinda gal. But it looks nice, right? All on its’ own – a nice little starter gallery.
But in the future as I have more pictures to hang? Oh yeah…
See how easy that is? I often tell my clients they do NOT have to fill a wall. It’s nice to get a little gallery started, and then you have a place to hang new portraits over time. And it’s so easy to add to an asymmetrical gallery – pretty much anything goes, you just fit it in like a puzzle.
Thank you, Martha!

Rachel - Oh WOW! It looked great before but with the collection of all the frames seriously it’s going to look so FABULOUS! We re-sheetrocked our entire house not to long ago and I have been chicken to poke holes in the new rock. I have NO pictures on my walls, I know it’s blasphemy. But you’ve inspired me to just DO IT!! Off I go to paint some of my frames black!
Carrie - You are awesome at putting together these wall galleries, Lisa! That looks GREAT.
Addie - This looks great! Love the future photos display as well! I actually printed the picture from your first post showing the wall. Hoping I can do this too one day! Love the black bench too!
Kayla B. - Lisa, you are so awesome at wall galleries! This is going to look awesome. I can’t wait until you post the finished product. I just bought some ledges from Pottery Barn to do something similar to this with my wedding and engagement photos: http://www.potterybarn.com/pbimgs/ab/images/p2/products/200837/0012/img37l.jpg
