But - I did want to get some pictures posted of the gallery wall my dad helped me assemble. Long story short, I got the material for the shelves from Home Depot without my dad's help (small victory!) and I didn't do half bad! It was incredibly cheap too, $20 for 16 feet of wood that I had cut in three separate pieces for each shelf.
Before I left for my Euro vacation at the very end of June, my dad helped me put up the shelves. This is what the wall has looked like for the past month:
Tired of the shelves being so bare, I started buying cheap frames from thrift shops and TJ Maxx over the last month-and-a-half. And viola, I have a much better looking gallery wall!
Each frame was no more than $5 - win! |
And there's my update! Now back to relaxing and enjoying the few hours of weekend I have left. Have a wonderful week, everyone.
very nice!! Are those old family photos?
ReplyDeleteYep! The lovely lady with the large up-do on the second shelf is my mother. The one to the right of that is my parents' engagement photo. The rest of the photos are my grandparents/parents at various stages. I have an adorable one of my dad as a boy that still needs a frame. It is an odd size!
