Pottery Barn Inspired Gallery Wall

Who doesn't love walking into a home 
and immediately seeing treasured moments?


I have always wanted a gallery wall in my home.

They reflect the happiness and joy of a family.

Although the desire was there,

I didn't have any idea of the layout

or more importantly, the how to.

I stumbled upon this gallery picture from a Pottery Barn catalog

and fell.in.love.

I liked the symmetry and simplicity of the layout.
Plus, I already had five square picture frames in my house.
This had to be a sign from the 'Decorating Gods' right? :)
I decided this was going to be my inspiration,

now to the how-to.

I discovered the easiest way to measure/space each picture
without putting tons of holes in the wall was using paper cut outs. Like this...

Painters tape held them to the wall and I have to say
that it worked well.
You just can't leave it up for days, hence the paper that is falling off. :)


I do admit, I love the results.
Although, my photography skills need some work.
(Disclaimer: I promise you, these frames are level and spaced evenly.)

I chose to display pictures of our family only.
I rotated between pictures of little man by himself,
ones with all three of us,
or just little man with Chris or me.


For the giant middle picture I wanted a picture of nature, no people.
I don't know why, but a giant face staring at you as you come
down the stairs just seemed kinda creepy to me. :)

This picture is from our summer hike to Emerald Lake.
A beautiful picture to remind us of a beautiful memory. 


I had to include pictures of my two favorite things...
our pug Butters and our trip to New York City. (L.O.V.E. NYC!)

Another close up of more pictures...love little man
playing on a little keyboard. That's when he was my little baby, sniff.

Here's a view of the gallery wall as you come down the stairs.

Of course, it wouldn't be my gallery wall without a quote, right?
I found the perfect quote for our little family...
