Family Photo Gallery Wall

With great new family photos to display, I needed a new place to display them.  The hallway across from my study is perfect because I can look out through the glass doors and enjoy the photos!  I’d always wanted to do a large-scale gallery wall similar to our Instagram gallery wall in the mud hall.

Keeping with the theme of “light & bright” throughout the house, I found these frames at Michael’s while they were having a 50% off wall frames sale.  It took a trip to all 4 Michael’s stores in Austin to get 9 because each store only had a couple left (except for 1 store that had plenty that had been dropped and damaged).  I love the floating matting and cleanness to these frames.  They will really let the photos shine!

Black and photos would have really set these frames off in a chic way, but I wanted to bring in the beautiful colors of the photos.  For this gallery, I mixed photos from this year’s family photos with some photos that I had taken (here are some recent tips to DIY frame-worthy photos) and some from last year’s family photos.

I love how this turned out and where it’s placed.  It was really the perfect spot!  Any hallway has potential to be a great family photo gallery.  It’s difficult to find the right mix of frames when you mix & match, so I like to keep it simple and do a grid of matching frames.

It should be easy to rotate some new favorite photos into the mix later on and any project that can evolve is a winner for me.

Do you have a family photo gallery wall in your home?  We’d love to see it!
