My basement is one step closer to being the fun, cheerful space I want it to be. The addition of a gallery wall of my kids art adds color and whimsy, and brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
For years I've been meaning to create a display of my kids' artwork. My recent road trip to IKEA kick started the project. I purchased several sizes of RIBBA frames.
I used my tried and true method for gallery wall installation…
First I arrange the pictures on the floor. Then I cut out old grocery bags the size of each frame and tape them to the wall. It's very scientific :)
Normally I would lose my mind measuring the exact location for each nail. But, my brilliant blogging friend Lisa told me to hang them with the 3M command strips.
Boy, am I glad I listened to her! It was the fastest, easiest gallery wall installation ever.
My only regret is that I didn't buy more frames. I could easily fill the entire wall.
This simple little wall makes me so happy! I love looking at my kids' creations. Especially the little handprints… they get me every time!

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do something like this.....where did you get your frames? The problem I have run into is that gallery frames are typically crazy expensive.
