I’ve been wanting to put together a photo gallery in our stairwell forever, but I was holding out for a trip to Ikea so I can pick up some Ribba frames on the cheap. Seeing as the closest Ikea is a 3 hour drive, that’s clearly not going to happen with the twinsies in tow. At least not anytime soon. So I’m biting the bullet and getting frames at Target. Slightly more expensive, but less of a headache overall.
We already have a photo gallery in our living room, and we freehanded that arrangement.
It’s not so easy to make something look random. Especially when you are a type-a, symmetry is poetry kind of gal. But my love for gallery walls runs deep and I think that random tends to look better. So I’ve been snapping away at inspiration pictures and I think I’m ready to give it a go.
Here are two that I’m going to model our stairwell gallery after
If all else fails, there’s this handy gallery for dummies layout that came with the last set of frames I bought from Pottery Barn. I’m not afraid to break out a template in an effort to save my sanity (and my marriage).
