Gallery Wall is Complete!

I'm back! Yes, it was has been way too long. I am a bad blogger, but I am going to try :)

Gallery walls... I have always wanted to create one so I took on the challenge. So I found a lot of pictures on Pinterest which looked easy but I have come to realize that nothing I do is particularly easy. I am perfectionist which means this took a long time.
First I went to Ikea which has amazing pricing on frames but of course that were not the right color for my scheme. I needed a warmer color than just black or white. I also went to Ross and Marshalls and picked up a few more. The challenge was laying them out. I ended up with 38 frames! I got some craft paper and made it the size of my wall and then layed out the frames traced where I wanted them to go and then figured out where the nails should go.

Next I spray painted the 39 frames.

And the final result...
 Sorry for the direction of my pictures! If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know. :)
