We're only here for 18 mths or so so I'm not sure about painting it though... I'll have to ask if that works for my mom since ultimately it's her house. I'd think she'd probably go for it &amp; then atleast I can have it a color that doesn't look old &amp; grimey!! Lol :)</p> <p>ETA: Got cleared for painting the ugly thing!! Definitely putting that on the to do list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1065192 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 14:16:38 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1065192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I also vote paint the ac unit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1065181 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 14:11:39 +0000 looch 1065181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you painted the frame around the ac unit...would that make it more obvious? OR what if you got a can of spray paint for plastic and painted it white? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1065090 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 13:43:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1065090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: looks good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1065058 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 13:32:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1065058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: it looks perfect! And everything is spaced really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1064985 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 13:12:02 +0000 runsyellowlites 1064985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions ladies... I went with the easiest option available without putting any added holes in the wall or having to buy more strips so I moved the LOVE down some (placement of the hanging strips gave leeway to move down but not move up), put the 3 pics between the Texas sign &amp; LOVE letters, &amp; hung the birdhouse on the left of the Texas sign.</p> <p>After thinking about it I didn't want the 2 text prints that close together &amp; also wanted to break up the dark brown of the frame &amp; the letters. Maybe if we get more prints I'll move it all around but for now these are all I have so I think it's works "good enough". Lol</p> <p>(Yes the Texas sign is crooked... I can't get it to stay straight for nothing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) </p> [attach=1400/13/msm583.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056078 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:02:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1056078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would move the Texas sign to the left and in line with the AC unit. Then I would move the love sign down and above it I would group the three frames with a couple other prints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056061 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:58:43 +0000 Freckles 1056061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, @Rainbow Sprinkles: makes a great point. I think i was fixated on making the AC unit part of the gallery wall. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056055 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:57:16 +0000 Mrsbells 1056055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the artwork but I think it has to be put up somewhere where people can see it upclose, I think its hard to really see it clearly from behind the sofa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056043 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:54:52 +0000 heffalump 1056043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness that artwork is adorable! I like it under, but really it is going to look super cute anywhere :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056012 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:43:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1056012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could put the bird house on the left side of the texas sign. The gallery wall doesn't have to be symmetrical or make a square. I have a bad habit of making my galleries too square....and then they don't have enough visual interest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1056004 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:42:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1056004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I would move the love sign up and then put the three pics underneath it, in a row.</p> <p>Technically, when you're doing a gallery wall, all of the art should be 2 inches away from each other on all sides. So I would leave the texas sign where it is (it would look far too symmetrical if you moved it right above the AC unit), move the love sign so that the top of the letters are 2-3 inches below the bottom of the texas sign, and then do the pics below that, each of them 2 inches apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055966 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:30:42 +0000 Freckles 1055966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would move the TEXAS sign so that it is in line with the left of the A/C unit. Then i'd put all three frames below the LOVE sign, and hang the birdhouse on the right of the TEXAS sign.</p> <p>(or move the TEXAS sign to the right and have the birdhouse on the left) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055957 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:25:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops again...3 below Love...birdcage above a/c </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055952 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:24:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops...2 below Love and 1 above the a/c </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055922 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:15:04 +0000 runsyellowlites 1055922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Hmmmm.. I think they're too small to be next to it? (just put one next to it &amp; I thought it looked weird) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055919 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:13:47 +0000 Ash 1055919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them best below. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055916 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:12:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055906 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:09:50 +0000 IRunForFun 1055906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How small are they? What about putting one on either side of the Texas sign, and one under the LOVE sign? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-gallery-wall#post-1055904 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:08:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 1055904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a humongo, super ugly a/c unit on our main living room wall right above our couch. We've started adding pics/art on the wall to make it not such an eye sore...</p> <p>So far we have a Texas sign &amp; L. O. V. E. that I made as decor for our wedding. I'd like to add 3 small framed pictures G drew of us but not sure what placement would be best.</p> <p>I'm leaning towards under the LOVE. Before putting holes in the wall (I'm out of hanging strips &amp; don't feel like waiting to get some) I'd thought I'd ask a second pair of eyes. :)</p> <p>Here's the wall currently</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscyi4.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscyj5.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>And 4 options for the small pictures</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscymm.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscymo.600x450.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscymq.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscyms.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>I also have this small (6" or so) bird house that I was thinking of adding above the unit on the left of the Texas sign.</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscyq3.448x600.image.jpg] </p>
