Gallery Wall

For a very long time I have been wanting to create a gallery wall on our stairway.  However I wanted to create something that included items other than just pictures. I started by laying out the frames on the floor to get a feel for arrangement.

Next I created paper templates and hung them on the wall to make sure the placement was right and that all the gaps were filled. All in all I liked the paper arrangement and started hanging!

After hanging all of the pictures and mirrors I still felt like something was missing and added in the wooden key I had recently purchased from Target.  What a perfect addition!! I felt like it kept things a little unexpected.

Here is the view coming down the stairs.

I love that this is a wall that I can keep adding to and growing.  I would love to add a few different shapes into the gallery such as oval and maybe even a few different objects.  Here is the before, middle and after from move in to today!!
