Finally...after weeks of picking photos and frames I have finally completed my gallery wall. It's a mixture of old family photos, new family photos, images from the internet, kids art, my art, gifts and masks from around the world.
...this is the view from the front door...
...this is the view from Mini and my bedrooms...my living room is flooded with sunlight most of the day...
...I framed a copy of my grandparents marriage certificate. They were married in Allendale, South Carolina in 1932 at the age of 18 and 20...Every time I look at it...I'm reminded how lucky we are that they got together when they did...over 100 people were born from that marriage...and they only had 3 children...Imagine...I love thinking about that...how Mini and I wouldn't be here if not for them...hum?
...a friend bought back these beads from Africa...love.
My mom's high school graduation photos...smile.
...so, this is how it came together...I arranged the photos on the floor and when I found a patten I liked...I nailed them to the wall. I know most blogs advise you to trace your photos onto newspaper and then tape the newspaper to the wall and you'll put less holes in your walls...I'm not afraid of holes...so, I skipped all that...
