Hello, Gallery Walls

I’ve been thinking about gallery walls… and seeing them everywhere recently. Here are 28 in fact! The top three are my favorites. I’m thinking about putting a gallery wall above my desk. I have some egg prints, some sheets of old stamps and some art that will be a beginning!

    couldn’t have compiled a better selection myself! ROCK ON with your gallery walls. I’m picking up my collection of framed matchbooks on Friday and hanging them this weekend, cannot wait! This makes me soooo happy! Great job Abbey!

    I’ve been obsessing over gallery walls, too — thanks for this fabulous round-up. I’m really inspired by the images you chose.

    Question–how would you frame a sheet of stamps?

    Love this post. Possibilities spring up when you can see and compare different ways of doing one thing at one go, like here.

    I love the framed contactsheets. I did a similar thing when I was studying abroad. Funny, now that I think of it, the whole idea of a photo contact sheet is a thing of the past. Retro photo?

    Oooh. I love the idea of hanging contact sheets. I just moved into a nice little vintage apartment and my walls are all blank and waiting for some framing like this.

    I is nice to see so many other people doing this. As an artists I have grown a collection of friends’ artwork in trades. I want to feature all of my pieces and our Brooklyn apartment is only so big. Eventually my husband and I decided to just hang everything up. I love it and visitors are always so engaged viewing over 55 framed pieces in are apartment
