A Family Gallery Wall in Our Kitchen

February 14, 2017 20 Comments

When we decided on a long kitchen island, there was one wall behind the stools that needed to be filled—with something. Since the kitchen is really the heart of our home (and I was determined to find a place to use library sconces), I went with a gallery wall of our family pictures.

 

I’m sharing three quick tips for creating a similar look in a new Wayfair video on YouTube.

 

To keep so many frames from feeling too heavy, I layered white frames with white mats on the white wall. All of the white also keeps the color photographs from looking too busy. (I still love color photography—don’t you?) By the way, I had these 5×7’s printed at CVS and was happy with the quality—and white borders.

See my latest Wayfair video (and the finished gallery wall) here.

    Love this wall. You did a great job. I would love an entire kitchen tour video. Have you done that yet? ( Not asking for much! LOL )
    I really missed your Saturday Six. Hope you were just busy and have not decided to give it up.

    Normally I don’t like gallery walls because of how “busy” they look but I think this way of displaying pictures is very pretty indeed and not cluttered looking.

    Also a great job on the Wayfair video Emily!

    You are just too good!! This looks amazing! I so want a wall like this but I’m so bad at hanging things straight! Paul and I might need counseling after hanging this many pictures! I’d love any tips on how you evenly space!

    OK. I’m going to follow the link to see your finished wall, but your daughter! She is so cute! That little smile made it worth visiting your blog today.

    Love the gallery wall and those awesome swing arm sconces! One thing is missing though. I want to see pictures of your gallery wall lit up in the evening, because it has to be striking.

    I am missing something! I can’t find the completed gallery. I watch the video, but I’m still not seeing the whole wall which I would love to see!

    How do you add a border to the prints at CVS? Or does it come standard. I don’t see it as an option online.

      Hi Tracy, I used these frames with autograph mats so I’d get a lot of white.

    How far apart Did you space the frames from one another?
