An Accidental Gallery Wall - Economical Inspiration

I like gallery walls but never have put one up.  Gallery walls are typically too distracting for  staged houses.

All pictures from Pinterest

As mentioned in my last post, I am gathering fabrics and resources for redecorating my living room.  The living room sofa needed pictures for selling on CraigsList.  

Here, a picture with a bed pillow, shows that the sofa is deep enough for sleeping. (I am a hopeless stager.)

This picture shows CraigsList folks it is a brand name piece of furniture. (Former career in Sales and Marketing.)

I was moving a painting behind it to get a better 'full frontal' of the sofa when I happened to scanned the tall cathedral ceiling wall.  Little Linda (inside my head) said, 'that would make a great gallery wall'.  I immediately started hunting and gathering from every room in my house: water colors of the beach, oils of landscapes and flowers and an abstract of a 'blue man', a pencil drawing of a beautiful nude,  and pastels of New England scenery.

I grabbed a ladder, my tool bag and went to work .  No plan, no forethought.  Just nail and go. Up and down. Up and down.  Stand back. Up and down. Stand back. Adjust. Level. Repeat.  (That wall has more holes in it than Bonnie and Clyde post posse shooting.)

This is the best picture I could get. (Skylights are not condusive to great photography.)  I am so delighted over my new gallery wall that I am going to postpone my redecoration for a while.

Hmmmmm..... don't you agree reinventing a space is much more economical!
