My Gallery Wall Reveal {from Drab to Fab!}

We finally finished our gallery wall so today I’m sharing with you the BEFORE and AFTER photos of this project!
Many months ago, we sold our TV cabinet and opted to mount the TV to the wall on a large, articulating arm. We wanted to accomplish this project quickly and with minimal cost and so chose not to hide the cords thinking that I might be able to artfully hide them with decor. Nothing like a challenge, right?!
The wall our TV is mounted on is just a small section of wall in the corner of our family room, so there isn’t a lot of space to work with and I knew from the get-go that the TV would dominate the space.
The "Before"…yikes! And that *blah* wall color isn’t doing anything to help matters, but painting this part of the house isn’t going to happen in the foreseeable future.
After collecting art and decor over a period of months to create a collected, I transformed the blank wall into a gallery wall full of photos and decor that are meaningful to our family.
I feel like the whole room looks different now and the TV no longer looks so lonely in the corner. {And for those of you wondering about the cords, yes, we will eventually hide them but not until we are ready to paint.} :)
Hanging everything on the wall took about 10 minutes thanks to my easy picture hanging tip: http://tidbitsandtwine.com/easy-picture-hanging-tip/
