Thanks! I think I am going to do all of the pieces in black and white or very low saturation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-love-of-walls-help-me#post-896460 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 12:44:05 +0000 Cole 896460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our gallery wall I picked all black frames and made all the photos black and white so we had a lot of cohesiveness. Everything is either black and white (photos, prints and a painting) or has bits of pale blue-green. </p> <p>On our wall are: shells in a shadow box with bits of blue-green sea glass, a tile from a local pottery place, a photo from our wedding, a black and white version of the photo in my avatar (it was a landmark in the town we lived in in France), a mirror that was a weding gift, a photo of my family, a small painting we bought in Paris, a picture of me from our wedding, a print of the skyline of our city, a map I ordered from here: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LilyGene?ref=seller_info" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/shop/LilyGene?ref=seller_info</a> </p> <p>I still want to add a picture of my husband and I and a picture of his family. It took me quite awhile to gather all of the pieces I want but having a theme in mind (black, white and blue-green) really helped! </p> <p>I love the envelope idea seen in this post: <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2010/07/big-art-from-small-items.html" rel="nofollow">http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2010/07/big-art-from-small-items.html</a></p> <p>Initials done like this could be fun and even if you just want a place holder while you figure things out it might be a good place to start: <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92816442292614422/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/92816442292614422/</a></p> <p>For the lyrics I love this one:<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/104568022570792575/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/104568022570792575/</a></p> <p>I also like this but I don't know if it would work for you:<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/51087776995243320/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/51087776995243320/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-love-of-walls-help-me#post-896456 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 12:39:55 +0000 Reese 896456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: I love your hallway! </p> <p>@Smurfette: I think today is the last day.

We were planning on getting these for it gallery wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-love-of-walls-help-me#post-896401 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 11:42:34 +0000 Mrs. Polish 896401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mine a mix of meaningful items. I framed some cards, the corks from the wine we bought on our honeymoon, a few favorite photos, cute printables, and some art. I think it works so well because if it were all photos they would start to blend together. I love to stand in the hallway because every time I feel like I see something new...even though I put it all there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-love-of-walls-help-me#post-896385 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 11:16:23 +0000 Reese 896385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IKEA had 50% off frames.. so I finally stocked up to create a gallery wall.. any suggestions, tips would be great :). They are all simple IKEA ribba frames..</p> <p>Instead of getting all black or all white we bought a mix (DHs idea - although in retrospect I think he just wanted to get the hell out of there after 45 minutes of laying them on the floor and imagining what looked best) </p> <p>So, something like this - <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/decorating-basics/how-to-create-an-art-gallery-wall/pictures/page-2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hgtv.com/decorating-basics/how-to-create-an-art-gallery-wall/pictures/page-2.html</a></p> <p>Not concerned about how to arrange them on the wall (thanks Pinterest) but any ideas on what to put in them would be helpful. </p> <p>Right now I am thinking - one artsy pic of each of our animals, one wedding pic, the larger one I think we may do something with our wedding song lyrics (?) ..I want something meaningful but still pretty. All thoughts, feelings and outbursts are welcome. </p> <p>Go. </p> <p>ETA: these are going in our living area above the couch</p> <p>AETA: Pictures/links get bonus points and a free snow cone </p>
