How to Make a Gallery Wall Using Yard Sale Items

After we installed our new carpet in the basement, the first thing I did was build my new gallery wall. One of my favorite things to look at when I go into people's homes, virtually or in real life, are their gallery walls. I think they reveal a lot about the homeowner's personality.
I have been hoarding gathering items for my gallery for a long time, and until recently they were just setting in my storage room.
I started by taking some masking tape and taping off the size of my TV and the top of the wall. I then played around with my items for the wall until I was happy with the placement.

I laid out a giant piece of butcher paper, the width and height of the area around my TV (like I did with my other gallery wall) which was where my gallery was going to be living. I then used a marker and filled in where my TV would be, so I would have a focal point, and everything else would be based around that.
One of my favorite things on this wall is this tiny pet portrait of Kitten. As , my sweet cat of 21 years passed away last year, and I got this portrait from GoodNaturedByDani on Etsy. This uber talented woman makes portraits using individual fibers of wool. I sent her a photo of my cat, and she knocked it out of the park with this exact replica.
I turned a long retro dresser into my entertainment console.
The Pallet Wood Arrow that I made is in the same shade as the tv console.
