I just LOVE decorating with photos!
Seriously, there’s nothing I love more than looking back at the memories and times we’ve created together as a family.
So if you give me a blank wall a gallery wall may just appear!
And I had a big blank wall in our family room.
Since the wall is so tall I decided to hang 4 large custom canvas prints in the same size in a grid pattern with a single farmhouse style barn light above.
I wanted to order the 20×24 size and used kraft paper to visualize the layout I wanted.
After receiving the canvas prints I used command strips to hang them.
After hanging the four canvas prints I stepped back and knew there was something that wasn’t quite right.
I realized that the 4 canvases looked a bit lost on that tall wall.
I wasn’t worried though because surely hanging the farmhouse-style light above would help…but after holding the light up there it still looked…well…too small.
I decided I needed 2 more canvas prints to fill the space better.
Instead of hanging one light above the grid style gallery wall, I decided to hang 3 light fixtures.
The new gallery wall with 6 - 20x24 canvas prints and 3 swing arm light fixtures above is just what this large wall needed.

How did you get electric to your lights? Thanks! Aimee
can you put one of your own photo on the canvas and if so, how would you do it?
