Below is a run down on some of the pieces included in the gallery wall,
1. Is a plaque we got as a wedding present almost 7 years ago! It fit perfect with my wall.
2. I spray painted this Red Envelope larger frame that was originally meant for a shadow box. I created a mat for the frame by using foam board and a shower curtain to create an 8x10 opening.
3. A burlap background with a big H!
4. This is my favorite. I spray painted the frame and used leather from a leather skirt I wore the day my husband proposed to me as the background. I loved the skirt at the time but it is no were near close to something that will fit me so this is the perfect way to see it and remember that special day!
5. I created a heart out of buttons onto cardboard. The buttons are shinny and add nice dimension to the gallery wall.
6. I made myself some state artwork that I previously made based on the Red Envelope state art
I really like my button heart. I also really like that I could include the skirt I wore when I got engaged! I love the meaning it adds to our room.
The entire gallery wall was put together using Command Adhesive. I LOVE this stuff! It works great for a gallery wall like this because it can easily be changed in the future without having lots of holes to repair.
I love gallery walls and I really like the colors you chose! I would love for you to share this at my link party

Super cute! Love all the different textures.
ReplyDeleteThis wall is beautiful! What a wonderful idea to re-use those first date clothing items that are no longer going to fit! I love it.

You did a great job of pulling together texture and color. Your gallery wall could easily be in a Pottery Barn catalog.
