I knew I wanted to create a gallery wall after we renovated our home. It would be a place to hang our most-prized framed possessions and pay homage to the past. I felt there\u2019d be no better place to hang those framed items than on the long blank moody wall between our two guest bedrooms. The contrast would make our art leap off the wall and add some pizzazz. Figuring out where<\/i> to hang the gallery wall was only half the battle.<\/p>\n

I quickly discovered that putting together a gallery wall and making it fit<\/i> was the other half of the battle. Composing a layout within the limited space was easier said than done. In fact, it was a daunting challenge. I wanted to hang both new and vintage frames, which were in various shapes and sizes, and make them look oh-so-great together. \u00a0<\/p>\n

To start, I didn\u2019t want to pound a bunch of holes in the newly painted wall. So, I measured the amount of space I had to work with. Then I used 2 tape measures to box off the length and height on the floor. (Yes, I could\u2019ve used painter\u2019s tape, but I didn\u2019t.) Next I placed the 3 largest pieces that I planned to hang at eye level on the floor. Eventually those 3 pieces will become focal points. Once that was established, it was time to construct the rest of our gallery wall. I laid out all our framed possessions. I paid close attention to the spacing between each piece. I played around with all the pieces until all of the art looked great together.<\/p>\n

Which one is the masterpiece?<\/i> Paul will tell you it\u2019s the Crosby, Stills, and Nash painting. Contradictory, I\u2019d say it\u2019s the framed crewel embroidery. I\u2019m a storyteller. So, let me tell you a story in a way for me to combine my passion for storytelling with my passion for designing.<\/p>\n

Nine years ago, when I arrived at Andy\u2019s home, I wheeled my luggage to a partially finished bedroom. There weren\u2019t any baseboards or closet doors. My oldest son was in the middle of remodeling what he called \u201cmom\u2019s room.\u201d At the time, there wasn\u2019t much in it: a double bed frame with mattress and box spring, a small nightstand, a lamp, and this<\/i> framed crewel embroidery. It was leaning against the bottom of a wall on the wall-to-wall carpeting. I believe Andy intended to hang the treasured needlepoint on the wall, but never had a chance to. (My wonderful son left this earth in 2014, when he was 33, during Spring fishing season. The boat capsized and his body sunk to the bottom of Lake Erie. Andy\u2019s body was found 22-days later.) \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
